HANNAH DEACON
Hannah Deacon hit the headlines because of her relentless campaign to legalise medicinal cannabis, Driven by the fact that her son Alfie has a rare condition which escalated to cause up to 30 seizures a day. Rather than sitting back and accepting the treatment which was available, Hannah recognised that it was inadequate and even dangerous and so has researched, travelled abroad and relentlessly campaigned to get the UK government to change their policy on the use of medical cannabis.
Hannah tells Linda Ness her story.
We have two versions of the interview, the shorter edited version used on the radio programme and the full interview. Those interested in hearing the full details can listen to Hannah's full conversation.
