@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member marijuana can help but its not recommended to just go out and smoke it without any medical advice as it can also interfere with meds. As for just tabacco smoking I'm pretty sure most specialists' advice against this As it can affect blood results. especially related to the liver. I always had high liver results (not anymore) and the first thing they would say was do you drink or smoke.

But if you smoke marijuana it does help control your seizure it's the T.H.C. in the marijuana that controls the seizure. I know I have been smoking marijuana since I was 16 years old in 1986
