“Smoking marijuana with ambulatory EEG?”
I currently have an ambulatory 48-hour EEG. I’ve been seizure-free for years now, it is just routine to make sure my medication is working the way it should. Will smoking marijuana affect my EEG?

marijuana usually does not affect the EEG but is probably best avoided during the test
There may be some mild cortical activity suppression if you smoke a significant amount ( ge really stoned or high ). Other than that no.
No it won’t affect it.
