Is Smoking Marijuana Safe After A Grand Mal Seizure?
Hello, I used to smoke quite regularly like 2 times a week for a year or so before increasing to 4 a week for a couple of months. I got grandmal seizures like once a month for like 4 months, though I was always aware of what s happening. I m on epilim 200 twice a day. Can I still smoke weed? Had gone off when I started the meds.
