Twice smoking and seizures with both.
Mon, 01/06/2020 - 15:16Topic: Teen Zone
My first time smoking weed was about 2 years ago and I had at least 3 seizures and then last night I was like let me see if it would do it again and yet I ended up having another seizure and my heart still burns. I'm worried if I'm going to continue to have seizures for the rest of my life. Does anyone else have seizures when smoking weed? I feel lost still.

Seizures had occurred to me long ago. I find relaxation to reduce the symptoms.[url=https://www.ssslotto.com/%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B5][color=#ffffff]huay yeekee[/color][/url][url=https://www.ssslotto.com/%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B5][color=#ffffff]JabYeeKee[/color][/url]
Doctors told me not to smoke

Doctors told me not to smoke marijuana. Mainly because it would damage the brain tissue that was already damaged(that causes my seizures) and make it worse. So, all depends on the person. Marijuana can be helpful to some people but not for everyone.
