A small amount of cannabis in your system as described should not affect or cause abnormality in EEG tracings.

EEG outcomes are not usually adversely affected by marijuana. But not clear what you mean by "minor epilepsy". If you have true seizure disorder causing alteration of consciousness, you should avoid driving, use of power tools, doing activities at heights, taking a bath or swimming alone.
