I’ve had two seizures and neither was drug induced.


Both times I was completely disoriented after. Had friends not been around for both who knows where I would have been. All I remember about the first one was snapping out of it in an ambulance fighting with the people who were strapping me to the stretcher.


TLDR; this story actually checks out IMO.

He’s an airplane pilot randomly having seizures? Fly the friendly skies

He’s grounded now. Likely long road back to flying solo. The medical certificate situation with FAA is a mess, even for people with very straight forward managed conditions

A period of disorientation and confusion after having a seizure is very common. It's called the post-ictal state.

They drew his blood if he went to the hospital, if he was under the influence they will know. Silly to jump to any conclusion at this point
No no no, it’s much more likely that a professional athlete that is fighting for a roster spot and has no prior history of substance abuse was wandering the streets of California looking for meth/PCP.

Remember when Derek Stingley Jr was hospitalized for having a seizure after smoking synthetic marijuana the night before the first game vs Miss St in 2020?

hey, that happens and people are making jokes about it, but this really does happen to people. Graham may have some type of medical condition that the Saints were not aware of, I hope the dude is alright.

You don’t have seizures and go for walks, they’re just making stuff up. I’m sure he’s on something.

Saw the log history, happened early evening. Came in as a stage away for medics, PD request. Nothing else other than the medics transported him.

Post seizure (post ictal state) wandering would be very realistic if he was alone, and it was unwitnessed and no one there to care for him. Labs will tell you all you need to know.
I do know that the FAA will be involved, as JG is super active in aviation, with multiple ratings, and aircraft. That, I think is possibly the greatest downfall to this whole event.

No big deal. At least he was not kicked off LSU football team for his love of pot. Now everybody loves Honey-badger.

Just legalize it.

Yeah, that's some scary shite. Graham's an athlete and should be in good shape, and they all take physicals, but I don't think they take head CTs during them.

You don't normally do a head CT unless there's a reason, like a seizure or some stroke-like symptoms. Because in both cases, things like that can mean there's something wrong with the brain.

I have a card and buy it all the time. It’s very easy to get legal weed in Nola.
