There has never been a report of a marijuana-induced seizure, however, that doesn't make it impossible. Typically, though, medical marijuana is used to counteract the effects of epilepsy, so if it could cause seizures, I would see that as kind of...counter-productive.

Yes. It is very effective in preventing seizures as well as lessening the negative side effects produced by prescription medications. For example, the insomnia (and lack of stopping seizures) caused by topomax.

Does marijuwana cause or help seizures?

It may not cause seizures, but it can't be said to be any kind of treatment for them. Epilepsy has many forms and many causes and there is no single treatment that can be said to deal with it. As a general rule, marijuana and any kind of street drugs should be avoided.


Does marijuana affect your neurones?

It is my understanding that marijuana slows down the connection between your neurotransmitters. This is the reason why it can be helpful against epileptic seizures as when these seizures occur, your neurons are being transmitted in uncontrolled rapid bursts (needs confirmation).


4 year old has seizures parents smoke a lot of marijuana and also cook with it what effects does this have on her?

Marijuana has been proven to help with many types of childhood seizures, even when some seizure medications are not helping. However, it must be properly administered under the care of a physician. When not legal in the child's state, many parents travel to a state where it is for treatment. Keep in mind, it does not help all childhood seizures. It is also not administered to children through smoke or food. Doing it in this way is not helping the child. The parents smoking marijuana is not a treatment for the child. It might actually be harmful if the parents are stoned while the child is having a seizure. If the parent wants to try using marijuana to treat the child's seizures, they need to go ahead and see a doctor that specializes in this area.
