British Mother “made to feel like criminal” after giving daughter Cannabis Oil
A Birmingham based mother reveals she felt like a criminal after giving her 3-year-old cannabis oil for her epilepsy.
Louise Bostock’s daughter Jayla has brain damage and a severe form of epilepsy. After taking Jayla to hospital for a regular check-up and revealing to her doctor that she had given her daughter cannabis oil, Bostock was told that she would not be allowed to return home with her child.
Jayla was kept in hospital for 5 days with no medical reason for her being there. The hospital staff noted the police and council who attended a safeguarding meeting to ensure the child’s welfare.
Bostock explained her devastation of the situation after stating that cannabis oil allowed her daughter to smile for the first time ever;
It’s been an absolute nightmare. Completely heartbreaking in every way. I was made to feel like a criminal just for trying to do the best by my daughter. Since having the oil, Jayla’s quality of life has completely changed. Usually, she is comatose and sleeps all day. But she has actually started to eat properly and now watches TV with a smile on her face. I heard her laugh out loud for the first time – can you imagine? But I was told that she had to stay in hospital and that police would be called if I didn’t comply. I didn’t understand it. There was even talk of my kids being taken away from me because I was trying to help Jayla. I was essentially being punished for trying to save my daughter’s life.
After being permitted to return home with her child, Bostock is now fighting for a cannabis oil prescription for Jayla, in the hope that her daughter can lead a seizure free life.
Leta get this story on this morenig on ITV people need to know how normal people who ONLY want the best for there ill children are being treated. how can pour laws on drug be to protect children when they do this. disgusted makes me feel

Good on you girl its our government that should be treated like criminals just because they think its bad… I know from personal dealings with individuals it works other governments around the world are looking at this very differently than our’s are just backwards ENGLAND is going down hill not forwards. They just want money and power in which they have none nw and they cant see how to make any from something which mother nature has give us to treat so many ailments
keep up the meds, i used it to hold off any cancer cells returning after surgery on my throat, i lost my voice box but that was over 3 yrs ago, and the cancer has not spread, a drop a day keeps it away they say
I’m ashamed to be British. It’s not that we’re behind all these other countries, it that we’re choosing to ignore the evidence when it’s put right under our noses!
I am also ashamed to live in a country with such laws! But I like the rest of the people that live in this country, will put my freedom on the line to get these laws changed!
drugs like anti seizures meds and chemo generates too much money unfortunately this is why cannabis oil is classed as a drug a crazy loopy Narco same sort of story with plastics.. hope this girl gets better !
