Cannabis and Tardive Dyskinesia: A Trigger?

Has anyone found that your TD (tardive dyskinesia) flares with use of cannabis? It’s as if it triggers the tics just the same as my other triggers.

I don’t have tardive dyskinesia, but I do experience seizure-like tics sometimes. Well, I guess it’s not really a tic. I don’t know what it is. But sometimes, usually when I’m lying down, I’ll twitch and jerk involuntarily, like fully body, and sometimes it looks like a seizure. I’m completely conscious the whole time, so idk what it is. Anyway, I’ve noticed that it happens more when I’m using cannabis!
