Hey guys, I've got a mate who is having random seizures while exhaling bong vapour, says it happens maybe 1 in 50 times, happened one day in front of me and I can only describe it as it looks like a robot malfunctioning for about 30 sec then he gets up and is absolutely fine... his body seizes up then goes all jerky and slowly drops to the ground but his eyes are still open looking at you and claims he can still hear and see everything but can't speak during this... He's hesitant to go to his doctor incase it affects his right to drive etc... I've personally never seen or heard of this before anyone got any idea whats going on here?

Hes a bm user 20+ years (mostly vapes now but happened as often when he used to combust) consumes about the same as me so roughly 80g a month

Do they excessively hold their breathe on the inhale 🤷‍♂️ and that doesn't sound nice to go through or witness and something I don't understand is going on there and surely he's needs to get checked out as there could be an underlying reason that is treatable .🙏

Sounds like a focal aware seizure and if only happening when consuming weed then maybe THC induced as it can be both pro and anti convulsant.

What kind of bm stuff is he using is it clean , is there a specific strain that triggers , Is the vapes clean THC not hhc for instance.

Hows the diet is he eating well before it, I have grand mal epilepsy and know how he feels but doc is the 100% best option open to him , massive risk to him and others on the road if driving with having them. 1 year seizure free is all he needs to drive again

Get him on a canna script and some CBD. So much at play but a ct will rule out any other stuff if anything going on and better to get it checked and ruled out.

It only ever happens on the exhale during a bong and yeah he does hold the vapour in for atleast 5 seconds so that might be a factor? He mostly vaped high end cali before medical and seemed to happen regardless of the strain (hes now medical but also worried he’ll lose it if he tells doctor) I’ve known about it for years but recently was the first time actually seeing it happen

To be clear its never happened to him smoking a j or any other scenario apart from inhalation of a bong with cannabis so it does really look as if something weird is going on here 👀
