Cannabis helps Bipolar immensly, it stables the mania and when your in the deepest of depressions it can make everything slip away, you feel relaxed and you have no cares in the world, IMO it should be the main medication for bipolar, it has 0 side effects, unlike these chemical drugs which cause liver damage among other things and polute your body....LEGALIZE TODAY!!!

Smoking cannabis in the evening does not steal away your sleep.
Drinking alcohol does that.

marijuana is a mood stabilizer. I had manic episodes and got into physical fights with people on a regular basis because my brain was on fire. I was peremptory, impatient, aggressive and confrontational until I discovered pot at the age of 18. The first thing I noticed was the voices went away when I smoked it. Natures own antipsychotic. Being tense all the time wrecked my nervous system. Cannabis helped me relax. Cannabis also helped me meditate as a beginner when my mind was jumpy.

woah cowboy what planet are you from? In my state, California, the intelligent voters passed legislation that allowed medical marijuana to be prescribed to patients. Do you understand that? The voters of California have decided there is nothing wrong with cannabis use. All you have to do to get an Rx is go to your doctor and ask for one. You also puts words in my mouth. I did not say in my previous comments that cannabis was ok for everyone.

drug and alcohol use can have extreme effects on bipolar disorder that can exacerbate the illness and have extensive, even long term, negative effects.

why did you block my other account Gary? Because I dared share my life experiences which contradicted Julie's propaganda? I could understand if I was cursing, spamming stuff about Islam, atheism, politics, porn but all I did was disagree. Your bosses once solicited me for unpaid video content while you suck in kick backs from allowing Pharma advertising on your main site. I still have the emails.
