Default What could have caused these lesions?

Hi,

Sorry if this is a bit of an "out there" question:

I had a seizure 2 years ago. My neurosurgeon did an MRI and found there to be lesions on my brain (in the white matter). 6 months later, I had another MRI and it appears that the lesions have cleared up. I have not had another seizure since. My neurologist says that his best guess as to what had happened is that I suffered from ADEM (Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis).
However, he wasn't certain that that was the definite cause.

My question is as follows:
I had smoked marijuana causally (about once every 2-4 weeks) with friends before the incident. Could this have been the cause for the brain lesions and seizure? Can marijuana cause such a thing as seen in the attached pictures? Would it be ok for me to smoke again socially?
