Exacerbation of seizures from medical marijuana

Wed, 12/14/2016 - 14:26
Anyone that has experience with using medical marijuana for seizures. I have heard that marijuana can help seizures but also have heard it can make seizures worse. Unfortunately, I tried (legally) medical marijuana! I found that it made my seizures much worse. Has anyone had similar experiences, or have any information they can share? And it's not just a fluke thing. This has happened the two times I have done it. Believe me I will not be doing that again.
