Tom and Kylie Horne say the treatments would make baby William's life even more uncomfortable. Within hours a CT scan was carried out which revealed a fast-growing cancerous brain tumour known as anaplastic ependymoma. At the University Hospital of Wales a shunt was put into William's brain to drain the excess fluid. But these commercially-available products contain little to no tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis which Tom and Kylie believe will help William. Professor Michael Barnes, a founder of the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society and neurologist, stressed that while there are medical benefits to using cannabis oil, it does not cure diseases.
