Mother Spain-bound for medicinal cannabis amid fears son's condition will 'nosedive'

The mother of a toddler who suffers from intractable seizures is travelling to Barcelona next week to obtain the THC form of medicinal cannabis, as she fears his condition will “nosedive” at Christmas.

Noreen O’Neill, mother of two-year-old Michael, said her son is taking CBD oil, but he is at the maximum dosage for his bodyweight. She is concerned he will go downhill over Christmas and that doctors will be unable to do anything to save him if he presents at hospital.
