Did I just have a seizure?
It certainly sounds like a seizure. He should consult with a doctor. I have seen a study that infers that modern cannabis is much stronger than it was years ago and could possibly cause seizures. I also saw a conversation thread where someone said their spouse had smoked pot for 30+ years, but started having seizures. Because of the seizures, he stopped smoking which seemed to stop the seizures. Your friend still should go to a doctor to make sure nothing else is going on.

You should see another neurologist for more information. It does sound like absence seizures. Your mention of 1-3 minutes is just your perception and may not be just that short.

People with epilepsy do not have a disability. The majority of people with epilepsy live perfectly normal lives. It is only when they are having a seizure that their epilepsy affects them.

Is the electroshock collar for dogs safe?
Just from personal experience, I am leaning toward the fact that they can or a least contribute to seizure activity if the dog is predisposed to having them. I rescued a standard poodle who had been living most of his 3 years wearing a shock collar for an invisible fence. With in the first few weeks he had a seizure - and about 2 months..but as time went on, without the shock collar, the seizures became less frequent - only two in the last 8 months and much less severe. My feeling is that since I have had him, no more electrodes passing though his body.
28 year old grandson just started having seizures and was diagnosed with grand mal epilepsy. Is there holistic treatment?
As a former epileptic, I can speak from experience when I tell you to PLEASE speak to your neurologist regarding treatments. Anti-seizure medications have advanced greatly in the past few years and left untreated epilepsy can be extremely dangerous. There are various websites that recommend herbal treatments, acupuncture, and even aromatherapy for the treatment of epilepsy. Please be careful!
