After hearing rumors/stories of marijuana being able to reduce or eliminate epileptic seizures for some people, a friend of mine in college who suffered from severe epilepsy (several seizures a week) started smoking a single, small, joint, once a week. He did not have another epileptic siezure the entire time I knew him, and he eventually stopped taking his prescribed epilepsy medicine.
