There is no evidence that cannabis use, however chronic, can lead to seizures. However, several studies have shown that cannabis can reduce seizures in sufferers of epilepsy. If you should suffer a seizure as a cannabis user, it is highly likely to be the result of a pre-existing condition.
AnswerI have smoked marijuana excessively for the past few years. I smoke via a bong and appox. 10 times per day. I just recently suffered a random seizure and am NOT epileptic. I feel as though there could be nothing else that could have caused this seizure except my abuse. Not sure, and I am no doctor, but I feel as though the study on this should be broadened.
Was my random seizure caused by my SERIOUS marijuana abuse? I really think so. Please help me confirm this!
Also, doctors just diagnosed me with having a slight liver infection, which could have, in turn, caused the seizure. But I believe ALL of this (liver infection plus seizure) was caused by my weed abuse.
Hit me with some facts, folks!
by the way, flushed all my MJ and replaced it with some Dilantin pills and some mouth-numbing liquid for my nearly-bitten-off tongue.. damn seizure!
thx
AnswerYes - As your brain tries to pull out of the fog that follows marijuana use it can lead to a seizure. It can happen in the morning after a night of heavy smoking or hours after smoking anytime of day or night. And like a short in an electrical circuit, the more your brain learns to do this, the easier it becomes for it to repeat the experience. A Holistic Doctor showed me a section in a homeopathic medical book that discussed the way marijuana leads to seizures. It's worse with 2nd generation pot smokers.
The individual in the last answer says he/she has substituted "Dilantin pills" but he/she is not epileptic. The terms epilepsy and general seizure disorder are both medical terms that mean "we don't know what's wrong with you". If you have 2 or more seizures they start you on Dilantin. If Marijuana is causing your seizures, Dilantin won't do much good, but it may numb you to the anxiety of marijuana withdrawals - It may numb you to everything else in your life as well. It's bad for your liver and it sounds like you already have some issues there. L-Theanine, an amino acid readily available at health food stores is a safer answer for the anxiety of marijuana withdrawal. And since it's helpful for normal brain function, it may be a double bonus for you. If you still have seizures after quitting marijuana I recommend you contact (see realted link) - And pick up a copy of their book Epilepsy: A New Approach
No, I'm not an employee. They are a not for profit organization that gives people with seizures their lives back.... without drugs - I know.
