What the petition asks

My son as well as many other children & others who have severe autism, as well as many other struggles & are suffering, need help fast to give them access to better quality of life & treatment accessible through the NHS to end their & their families suffering. We believe CBD oil can help them

My 8-year-old son is severely autistic and faces extreme challenges every day. He experiences behavioural hypervigilance, frequent meltdowns, self-harm, and lashing out. His struggles with ARFID lead to refusal to eat and consequential weight loss. As a parent, I am desperate to find solutions that allow my son and other individuals to live a better life, and I believe that being able to access CBD oil on the NHS could be a vital part of that solution. Reports show that there is a growing body of evidence that supports the efficacy of CBD oil.
