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.(2022年，一位名叫路易斯·佩蒂的天才年轻艺术家正准备回到英国，他少年时实际上流亡荷兰，只为获得控制癫痫所需的医用大麻。) Six years earlier, Louis, then 12, had been diagnosed with a rare form of the neurological(神经系统的) disease when medical cannabis was still illegal in the UK.
2022年，一位名叫路易斯·佩蒂的年轻艺术家正准备回到英国。他天赋异禀，少年时却实际上流亡荷兰，只为获得控制癫痫所需的医用大麻。六年前，年仅12岁的路易斯被诊断出患有一种罕见的神经系统疾病，当时医用大麻在英国仍属非法。
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.(但在大麻合法的鹿特丹，医生帮助他发现，一种名为Bedrolite的医用大麻油配合恰当的抗癫痫治疗，能够减缓并最终阻止他的癫痫发作。) This was something his neurologists in the UK had previously considered impossible.
但在大麻合法的鹿特丹，医生帮助他发现，一种名为Bedrolite的医用大麻油配合恰当的抗癫痫治疗，能够减缓并最终阻止他的癫痫发作。而英国神经科医生此前认为这不可能。
By the time Louis won a place(获得录取名额) at City and Guilds of London Art School in 2022, the UK government had legalised medicinal cannabis, pressed(受压力；被催促) by parents needing the drug to treat their epileptic children – most notably Charlotte Caldwell and Hannah Deacon(推动英国医用大麻合法化的家长活动人士).
2022年路易斯获得伦敦城市与公会艺术学校的录取名额时，英国政府已在家长的推动下将医用大麻合法化——这些家长需要该药物来治疗患癫痫的孩子，其中最著名的是夏洛特·考德威尔和汉娜·迪肯。
