Hi, cannabis in large quantities can trigger anxiety attacks and, as a result, somatic symptoms such as seizures. I know to say that once I smoked too much, went into a severe anxiety attack, and even ended up being hospitalized.

I’ve noticed CBD can help calm the body but THC higher than 13% can trigger anxiety and therefore can cause a non-epileptic seizure. It also depends on your mindset before you take cannabis and if you are comfortable and safe in your environment and surroundings. Sometimes cannabis can ease feelings of stress as well as give some relief if you are using it like a medicine. Only use it when needed, not overusing, just taking the edge off. But if you go into using the drug and you're stressed trying to escape, it can exacerbate the feeling of stress and lead to a seizure.
