The mother of a 13-year-old severely epileptic boy who says medical cannabis has transformed his life has revealed her fresh torment after his latest prescription was denied. The family were forced to leave Britain in November because they were unable to find a doctor willing to prescribe medical cannabis for Billy - despite it now being legal. Billy Caldwell and his mother, Charlotte, from Castlederg, Co Tyrone, returned from three months in 'exile' in Canada yesterday. They gave doctors a 20-day licence to administer one of the seven bottles of the drug Charlotte had brought from Canada. Charlotte said that for the first time 'connections had been made' between the medicinal cannabis experts in Canada and doctors and the UK.
