Am i able to smoke weed during a video eeg test??

Why would you wish to do so? The effect of cannabinol could create a situation where EEG might result in either false positive or false negative data. Follow your doctor's directions to the letter if you are serious about a reliable test outcome.

No, not recommended. It has to do with your goals and making sure you try to help rather than hurt yourself.
