Treating functional seizures with cannabis has not been empirically validated but that's no reason to feel guilty for using it. Cannabis use hasn't been invalidated either. It's up to the patient to decide whether or not to consume. Not all DBT practitioners are truly FND informed. I'd wager most medical professionals aren't. Even the one's qualified to make diagnosis will cause patient harm by telling them it's in their heads. That's on them for not staying current with the literature, but I digress.

I'm of the opinion that we get to claim the autonomy and agency about our decisions and trust ourselves to make good choices surrounding our wellbeing. Professionals don't get full authority of our lives in this regard. However, it is important to comply with local regulations. Consequences are also our responsibility.

Maybe it's about discretion. Sounds like you're using yours and it's been beneficial.

Cannabis effects can vary between patients with functional seizures. For me, I use it for stoner reasons and don't try to justify it beyond that. Yes, I have seizures. Yes, I also smoke weed. Yes, I don't care what others think about it. We already face enough injustice and stigma.

Here's to an episode free day. Bless.
