Yes I have experienced something similar but it is not a seizure. I have had Petit Mal and Grand Mal seizures due to an abnormal brainwave pattern that is epileptic like but not epilepsy. In fact my last EEG came back normal, at age 50, after suffering with this since I was 12, and I was told that would never happen! I attribute the restoring of my brainwave pattern back to normal as a direct result of smoking marijuana on a reguar basis for over 25 years :smokin:. As far as what your friend is experiencing I can't say for sure but what happens to me, especially if it is heavy headed pot, is I feel like I have several rapid "brain shorts/or blanks." They happen so fast there is no memory loss or unconscience state, but I feel like my brain is shorting out, my head bobs/jerks back a bit while my vision seems to have blackouts coinciding with the head jerks but I have never fallen or lost conscience. This all happens in less than 5 or 10 seconds and goes away leaving no bad side effects. But I do not believe that is a seizure, at least not a Petit or Grand Mal seizure that I can tell you from experience. I have had EEG's while sober and while under the influence of marijuana. The EEG's taken while high resulted in shorter "spikes" and smaller "Electrical Bursts or Storms" which is what causes a seizure, generally speaking of course. I have chronic nausea and vomiting from Gastroparesis (Paralyzed Stomach,) I have been on Marinol for years because I live in a Nazi state/non medical marijuana. I can tell you not only am I convinced that the long term effect of smoking marijuana "normalized" my brainwave pattern but it also gives immediate relief from chronic or acute nausea and stimulates the appetite with the worst side effect being a very plesant euphoria that is...well it's just great. Good luck to you and you friend. If you are smoking schwag it might be from pesticides or mold. I think you might have better luck with real medical marijuana if you can get it.

eltone Reviewed by eltone on . Smoking marijuana and seizure like symptoms... Me and my friend have been smoking together for 5 years or so now, and about three times he's had these weird things happen.. First two times he has fallen down and goes into a seizure like mode for like 30 seconds.. The last time he was holding himself up and only lasted for a few seconds but his head was twitching a bit and the only way I can really describe it is seizure like.. Anyone know anything about this?
