Has anyone known someone to use Marijuana for controling epilepsy?!
Question: A lot of studies are showing that marijuana has almost completely treated grand mal seizures for epilepsy when other treatment doesn't respond...do you know anyone who did this?

I have epilepsy in my sleep (known as nocturnal epilepsy) and cannabis greatly reduces and quells my seizures but it's illegal here in Australia. The doc has got me on this strong sleep drug that can be used as a date-rape drug and I totally hate it. I'd prefer a natural cure anyday. Don't be afraid of it, but don't have too much or you will end up feeling drowsy etc. Epilepsy drugs can be really nasty and ineffective.
I've seen the reverse much more commonly: people with well-controlled seizure disorder who smoke marijuana and then have a seizure.
I would NEVER SMOKE THAT. I don't have grandmal ones. I think I stick the the pills. I have the Focal epilepsy.
I hate to say this but in some cases it seems to work. The problem of coarse is that you don't want to find out about what it is like to control your seizures in jail. Be very careful about walking down that road...
