PLEASE HELP. do i have epilepsy? i had a seizure! i had laced marijuana??

hey everyone.

last night i went to a concert, and i smoked marijuana. i am 16 years old and i am a male. i have smoked marijuana before on numerous occasions and nothing abnormal has ever happened. i was high before the concert, and i smoked again during the concert because i felt i was losing the high. but last night, when i was at the concert, i think i had a seizure. what happened was i was looking at the performer, and i looked at the big video screen for a second and i looked back. when i looked at the screen, it was very bright so i looked away back to the performer. when i looked away, my eyes did not adjust. all i saw was flashing streaks constantly. then my vision started to distort. all i could see was blurry stuff. and in a way, it was grey everywhere. if you have ever seen the movie Pitch Black starring Vin Diesel, what i saw was the monsters vision. everywhere. it was grey, and kind of streaks moving away from a center point away from me. also everything i saw, turned black and white. no colors. i saw black and white checkers everywhere. like instead of seeing a person, i would see him as if he was wearing a black and white checkered tights everywhere. and i saw everyone like that. I'm sorry its very hard to explain. and i almost vomited as well. i had a VERY strong feeling that i was going to. i felt like it was coming up but  i was holding it down. also i remember i had a little trouble breathing. then i remember my head started to tilt left. and i started walking into people. my friend around me said that my eyes were rolling back and i was sometimes jerking. i couldn't control what i was doing. i don't remember some of this. but i remember when it was happening, my memory was looping. it was like my mind was constantly refreshing, back to a certain point. so every 3-4 seconds i would think it was that point again, even though 10 minutes had passed. i had extreme difficulty talking as well. i couldn't form a sentence because my mind was looping. because of the 3-4 second mind refresh, i couldn't form a sentence because every 3-4 seconds i would have to start over from the beginning. my friends saw what was happening and got me out of the extremely cramped crowd. when i got out i was going back to normal. remember, all of this happened during my high of marijuana. i don't recall any foaming or anything. when i got out i got some food and water and i was just back to a normal high of marijuana.

Please, did i have a seizure? Do i have epilepsy? or could it have been Marijuana that was laced with cocaine or something?

If I were you, I'd go to see a doctor and get referred to a pediatric neurologist. This type of doctor can run 2 specific tests called EEG &MRI. These are the only types of tests that can absolutely show if you have epilepsy or not. You may have had a seizure just from smoking drugs. But you'd better have it checked out to be sure. My 7.5 yr old son takes seizures and has a rare form of epilepsy. It is not a fun way to live your life. If you value your life at all, then you need to stop drinking and smoking all together. Go to school and become a doctor, lawyer, or whatever you want to be. Drugs will screw up your entire life. My little brother is a chronic druggie who has smoked since the age of 7 and now he is 28 yrs old and has nothing to speak for. He has never earned a honest cent in his entire life. I also have a uncle who has smoked for the past 40 years constantly and couldn't even be there when his wife died of cancer. He was apparently too busy smoking crack or something. If you want to do something with your life, start now!! You may be thinking " oh, I can stop anytime, but honestly you can't. Once your hooked...that's it, you'll eventually have to learn the hard way." If this " supposed seizure" scared you, I hope it did scare you straight so at least you can become a upstanding citizen later on in life. I'm sorry for being so harsh. But you needed to hear this. Good Luck.
