Henry Lloyd doesn't much like the taste of the cannabis oil he started taking last week in hopes of controlling his catastrophic epilepsy. But compared to the 20 or more pills the Stonington 7-year-old takes each day, he calls it “easy peasy,” his mother, Linda, said.

The dose is tiny; it will be scaled up over time. And his parents are cautious in assessing whether it's made a difference so far – the question everyone seems to ask them since Henry became the first child in Connecticut to lawfully take the drug for palliative purposes, something that became legal this month.
