Title: MDMA & Epilepsy
Post by: GlocksInMySocks on June 08, 2012, 10:00 pm
A buddy of mine has Epilepsy he's parties pretty hard. Lately has been hitting me up for some Beans. I'm very reluctant to give him any because I know how serious of a disorder Epilepsy I'm weary he will take a bean and have a Seizure. IF anyone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it. 

Thanks

I see your concern, and epilepsy is a serious illness, however when someone has an epileptic fit it isn't usually serious and they can get up and be fine afterwards, not even realizing it's happened. How bad is his epilepsy?

From a medical perspective MDMA could bring on a fit, it does cause swelling of the brain...

Seizures don't scare me, I have had them and been around people when they are having them.  But for people who have never seen someone have a seizure it can scare the shit out of them. His Epilepsy I guess is moderate I know he can't have a drivers license.

Everyone has a "seizure threshold". A person with epilepsy has a seizure threshold that is lower than that of a normal person's. Drugs like MDMA lower this threshold even more and can greatly increase the risk of seizure. I would not want to be the one to supply your friend with MDMA simply due to the risk of physical injury from having a seizure.

If you decide to supply him I would only give him a half dose but I still think it is a bad idea.

Weedsaves is correct in regards to MDMA and seizure threshold.
