Could smoking pot a few times in high school?

Question

have triggered me to have epilepsy? I was born with cerebal palsy but I didn't get seizures until I was 21. I did it very rarely but I just heard on the news that smoking pot causes seizures

Woodland you're right I'm going on 41 now & I guess it doesn't really make a diff thanks

Answer 1

That was along time ago, so there is most likely no connection. I highly doubt that marijuana use even causes seizures, period. There is alot of disinformation that people spread to try to get people to believe the way they do. They probably said something along the lines of " New studies find that marijuana could be linked to seizures" While they say could, people only hear that marijuana and seizures are linked. So even though it isn't proven, in people's minds it has. Even if it did cause the seizures, it would be when marijuana was at it strongest point in you blood system, not years and years later. Either way, you have them now so it is pointless to worry if it was caused by pot.
I feel for you and I hope you get to the bottom of this.

Answer 2

if you didn't get the seizures until 21, smoking pot back in highschool a few times wouldnt have anything to do with it. go to the doc? What you heard on the news I would double check, becuase they probably meant while youre actually smoking it/high.

Answer 3
