The effects of marijuanna and dilantin use?

Sun, 07/18/2010 - 22:53

hello,

I have a 26 yr old nephew that has uncontrollable seizures and is on ssi. He is a heavy marijuanna smoker and takes dilantin. Does any one person have any information on the efects marijuanna may have when used with dilantin. He may change his habits if he were better educated. If not for himself for his children Is it true that many people who have seizures have benefitted from smokin pot?
