Hi I m experienced a seisure and then a mass was located in my brain. I am taking Keppra and am interested in the benefit of medical Marijuana for Apopsis and for the sleep and for the beneficial effects of live cells in the brain. I would like to know if there are any contraindications for this possible mix?

I read your question and I understand your curiosity on the matter.

Unfortunately though yours is a difficult question to answer as in truth real quality studies on the effects of marijuana in the brain are lacking, so I can not speak based on evidence.
My individual opinion would be that it does not play any role on brain cells apoptosis. It can have beneficial effects on sleep, but as I said whether that comes with no negative effects that needs to be studied.

I wish you good health.
