    I keep having seizures and I feel like I need Medical Cannabis to deal with them. However I live in Oklahoma which isn't a Medical State. I'm also looking for a job so I can't really smoke anyways :(. Does anybody know of anything else I can do other than smoking to deal with them? I don't know what to do. I can feel my seizures starting but I don't know how to stop them without smoking. I just woke up and my brother told me that my nose was bleeding earlier and that I had yet another seizure. A good start to avoiding seizures would be for me to STOP donating plasma but that is the only way I can make a little bit of money right now:(. But I guess I'll have too quit anyways for my personal health.

    Oklahoma is now considering legalizing Medical Cannabis. I sure hope that we do.

    when did this start? if it's a new thing, have you been to a doctor to rule out an underlying cause? that's important to do, seizures can indicate something serious going on

    what's stopping you from taking more traditional anticonvulsants in the meantime?

    This started about two years ago. They don't happen ALL the time. They come and go randomly. I've been to the doctor and they piss tested me and when I came out positive for THC they told me its due to the fact that I'd been smoking cannabis which is a load of crap. Weed doesn't cause seizures. If pot caused seizures than doctors in medical states wouldn't prescribe it to patients who had them. Plus I've never had a seizure while high either so I highly doubt its the bud. What's stopping me from taking traditional anticonvulsants? Well the hospital would probably prescribe me pharmaceutical pills which I don't trust.

    you need a medical marijuana card so you can get some pot to stop the seizures but you're smoking already and you're still having seizures.
    Come on dude think before you type.

    No I'm NOT smoking right now since I'm trying to find a job. I thought that I made that clear. I did think before I typed. Maybe you should do so. And I don't think that weed cures EVERYTHING because that would be UNREALISTIC and FOOLISH of me to think. If cannabis didn't help people out with seizures why would doctors reccomend and prescribe it to them? Yes, I think donating plasma has something to do with it, because they ask you if you are epileptic before you donate, which is why I'm stopping.

    I don't blame you. I'd stop donating until you have an answer about what causes the seizures.

    Because medical marijuana is just a legal way to get high.

    and what BBAD said

    Seizures are just a symptom. You should go figure out what is caused them.



    there are both pro convulsant and anti convulsant substances in weed

    Yeah, I really think you ought to see a doctor before you decide to start self-medicating. I have a friend who is epileptic, however, and oddly enough his doctors are in Oklahoma. His main doctor did tell him years ago that if smoking pot was helping him, he couldn't legally prescribe it, but he wouldn't suggest he quit. Once again, his doctor told him this. Seizures are a pretty serious thing, if you had one at work with no one around, you'd probably be sent to the hospital anyway. Not to mention the likelihood of the employers finding out. Then you're a liability and they will find some reason to get rid of you. I've seen it happen too many times. You're in a pickle, I'd suggest you start figuring out a way to see a doctor. You'd have to talk to one to get a prescription for pot anyway.

    Iv'e been seizing for fifty years now and am taking 4 different types of meds with a bunch of scheduled procedured things on the horizon! But what is worse is I have been taking Phenobarbitol for those 50 years and it destroys bones, Yet I still take it! And if (Charlottes Webb) can save my foot then it would be woth it!
    As for what you have described you need to see a Doc. It may not be Epilepsy but something worse~Please get it checked!!!!!!!!
