The Relationship Between Epilepsy and THC: Effects, Interactions, and Personal Experiences

What is the relationship between epilepsy and THC? THC (technically not cannabis) was just legalized here. It’s the tiny bit of THC found in hemp that they extract and make in a lab to mimic the effects of cannabis/marijuana. There’s delta-8 THC (a slightly weaker version) and delta-9 (the main ingredient in the cannabis plant). I don’t care for smoking regular marijuana, as it makes me paranoid. I bought some delta-8 gummies the other day though, and it has a very soothing effect. It technically still makes me “high” and alters my perception, but without the paranoia. Anyway, I was just wondering how something like this, if at all, could affect my seizures. Could it trigger a seizure, or would it have the opposite effect and help prevent a potential seizure? Could it interfere with my meds? Or does it have no effect at all? Let me know if it’s affected your seizures and how so.
