A DESPERATE mum is demanding a face-to-face meeting with senior Scottish ministers over a ‘broken promise’ to facilitate a lifesaving drug for her son.
But she says despite repeated attempts to contact him via his office, nothing has ever been done and she is now being met with a wall of silence. She said: “When they learned of Cole’s plight, they immediately wanted to help. Collectively they pulled together £20,000 to fund his medicine privately for the last 12 months, but it is hard for anyone to keep that level of fundraising going.”Lisa says she faces a heartbreaking decision when the cash pot runs out in the new year. Without medical cannabis, Cole’s seizures will worsen, leaving him facing a huge operation where surgeons would be forced to cut his brain in half.
The oil contains two key active compounds in cannabis for medical use: THC, which is psychoactive and gives a feeling of being"high", and CBD, which does not.Lisa says medics remain sceptical about its benefits, but she says it has changed Cole’s life, adding: “Before this, he was having 20 seizures a day – now he is playing football, going to Tae Kwon Do and attending mainstream school. None of that would have been possible without this drug in my opinion.
