The UK’s legal cannabis market is booming – so why can’t this talented artist get any to treat his epilepsy? | Kojo Koram

Companies have rushed to supply the drug as a wellness treatment, but patients with serious illnesses aren’t able to get NHS prescriptions

In 2022, a prodigiously talented young artist named Louis Petit was preparing to return to the UK, having been effectively exiled in the Netherlands as a teenager so he could access the medical cannabis he needed to control his epilepsy. Six years earlier, Louis, then 12, had been diagnosed with a rare form of the neurological disease when medical cannabis was still illegal in the UK.

But in Rotterdam, where it was legal, doctors helped him discover that a medical cannabis oil called Bedrolite, in combination with the right mix of anti-epileptic treatment, could slow and eventually stop his seizures. This was something his neurologists in the UK had previously considered impossible.

Meerdere doden in Gaza na Israëlische aanvallen

Door Israëlische aanvallen op Gaza zijn zondag acht mensen gedood, melden noodhulpdiensten en plaatselijke ziekenhuizen. Onder de slachtoffers is een kind.

Vijf mensen werden gedood in de zuidelijke stad Khan Younis, en drie in Gaza-stad. Dat staat in een verklaring van de burgerbescherming, die opereert onder het gezag van Hamas. Lokale ziekenhuizen melden dat ze lichamen van de slachtoffers hebben ontvangen. Er werden ook enkele gewonden naar de ziekenhuizen gebracht.

"Vliegtuigen van de bezettingsmacht hebben verschillende dienstdoende politieagenten aangevallen", zei het lokale ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken over de aanval op Khan Younis. Het Israëlische leger heeft verklaard dat het een "terrorist" in het zuiden van Gaza en verschillende anderen in het noorden had aangevallen.

De oorlog in Gaza heeft tienduizenden levens gekost. Sinds oktober 2025 geldt een bestand, maar sindsdien zijn door Israëlische aanvallen meer dan 1500 mensen omgekomen in het gebied.
