Seizures caused by marijuana? (My full story included)

Staying awake for 48 hours causes people to sleep, not have seizures. But no idea if stopping weed caused it, I'm not a doctor.

Honestly, it kind of sounds like you're fucked for now. Not trying to sound like an asshole, but if you were a chronic smoker from 12-19, those are the years when your brain is developing and you're still emotionally imprinting on things. I don't know that weed caused any seizures, but it's apparent that you've developed an unhealthy relationship with weed if you're staying up because you can't handle waking up and not having any. That's total hardcore addict thinking.

 

A stoner forum is just about the absolute last place for medical advice....try a doctor. Doctor/patient confidentiality

 

Easy fix then if that's how you feel....stop smoking

 

I doubt quitting weed caused your seizures if that's really what you had. It certainly doesn't cause brain calcification unless you're the first case ever. I'm wondering if you started smoking so young because of your psychiatric disorders or your disorders are from starting so young. Whatever the problem I wish you luck.

 

During our formative years, our brain is continually looking for new challenges, and it's also developing coping mechanisms and setting up our risk/reward system. Marijuana disrupts all of that, which is why it's bad for kids to be smoking pot, especially chronically. If you were high every day from 12-19 then you may not have very good coping mechanisms; marijuana has likely replaced your brain's reward system, and from what you've said you've become emotionally dependent on it. The thing is, over the last 7 formative years, every time you had a conflict of some sort, your brain didn't have to solve it, it was just washed in a sea of THC instead. That combined with other psychological problems you may have, has brought you to where you are today. Your brain is telling you that right now is the time to deal with all this shit. When I said you're fucked for now, I'm meaning you've got to stop using pot and deal with everything because it's apparent that the path you've been on isn't working. A 500lb man isn't necessarily lazy, he very likely learned that food was the best reward system for him at a young age, so he always go back to food instead of letting the dopamine discharge do its job. This is kind of what's happened to you. You may never use pot again. You may be able to get shit straightened out. Who knows? You've got to either take control of your life or not.

 

The thing is many psychiatric disorders don't blossom until around puberty. How you were at 7 may not matter.


"Across cultures and centuries, adolescence has been noted as a time of dramatic changes in body and behavior. Although most teenagers successfully navigate the transition from dependence upon a caregiver to becoming a self-sufficient adult member of the society, adolescence is also a time of increasing incidence of several classes of psychiatric illnesses, including anxiety and mood disorders, psychosis, eating disorders, personality disorders and substance abuse."

Why do many psychiatric disorders emerge during adolescence?

 

I mentioned once on this forum that I had seizures if I do more than 5 hits of anything and got my ass jumped. Like whoa. Take care of yourself and I hope you get better soon!

 

The adivice above me is good, but you should probably go see the doc before starting any new workouts. Seizures are no joke and are not a withdrawal symptom of pot. You need to make sure you are healthy enough for new exercise before starting.

 

i had my first grand mal seizure while withdrawing from pot. Lack of sleep is definitely a trigger and I dont know for sure but it's possible that you could have had a seizure disorder that was being masked by the marijuana, not caused by it. although the calcification on your brain sounds abnormal

 

Marijuana makes your body do what it needs to - I too had seizures and weed stopped them. After each puff I fart or sneeze or cough up mucus or twitch a bit, better than seizures without cbd. And Excercise and weed go together so well!
