Petition To grant 6yr old epilepsy sufferer Alfie Dingley a licence for medical cannabis.

The Home Office need to act to grant 6yr old epilepsy sufferer Alfie Dingley a licence for medical cannabis. He was treated with it in Holland and his seizures reduced from 150 to 1 seizure a month. Alfie should not have to break the law to access his medicine. He needs this medicine to live.

More details

Alfie is 1 of 9 of nine boys in the world who suffer from PCH19. Without this licence from the Home Office to use medicinal cannabis Alfie's seizures will return to over 150 a month each requiring hospitalisation. He will not have the quality of life he deserves. The only treatment he responds to in the UK causes psychosis, organ damage and early death. The family should not have to accept this. The licence should be granted, Alfie is a patient not a criminal. He needs access to his medicine.
