My son, his epilepsy and why I use CBD oil

Good Morning Ulster

Available for over a year

The case of 12 year old Billy Caldwell from County Tyrone, who's been given temporary access to cannabis oil to treat his epilepsy, has re-ignited the debate about whether the oil should be legalised for medical use in the UK. Belfast mum Jennifer Gillen's son Henley is severely epileptic and she gives him CBD oil - a low-concentrate version which is legal. Here she tells Good Morning Ulster's Joel Taggart how it helps Henley.
