Smoking marijuana and drinking

Thu, 02/07/2008 - 01:51
I was just reading on this website all of the forums about drinking and smoking cigarettes and how bad they are for you. It didnt say anything about weed and I smoke weed maybe once a week or once every two weeks and is it bad for having seizures? Also if you drink maybe two beers to three beers once a weekend is that bad?

Since Epilepsy is known as a brain injury & since marijuana/weed fries the brain, then yes. Weed is bad for epileptics or anyone for that matter.

weed is bad for epileptics or anyone for that matter you say???.  Really not. Marijunana has been use for seizures for many centuries. In fact some people with epilpesy use marijuana along with their seizure medications and have great sucess contolling their seizures.........x
