A member asked:
If you smoke weed a week before an eeg, does it affect the results? the eeg is for epilepsy (juvenile myoclonic epilepsy?

Unlikely that contact with marijuana will alter the EEG recording, but standard 45-50 minute studies may often be falsely negative. Better, if questions emerge, is an ambulatory study over 72-96 hours, as most events would be picked up over that interval.
