An East Kilbride mum whose 10-year-old son relies on cannabis medicine due to his rare form of epilepsy has called on Scotland's new First Minister to cut the red tape to end her battle for government funding.
Young Cole Thomson lost a huge chunk of his childhood, suffering up to 20 seizures a day for six years, due to his rare and drug-resistant focal epilepsy.
However, since taking a daily dose of the cannabis oil Bedrolite he is seizure-free and has gone from being confined to a wheelchair with limited speech to training in taekwondo, as reported by East Kilbride News.
