  1. I must admit these studies introduce a lot of inaccurate data and ultimately led to poor conclusions. I must admit most of the conclusions are garbage. I will say the earlier someone uses it the more likely they are to develop bipolar symptoms quickly. But I will also say that if the right type of cannabis is used I feel it is helpful. I would say hemp flower is the most effective due to high CBD concentration.

  2. What is missing from this, & most cannabis research is a focus on the STRAIN of cannabis. The strain is the biggest factor in psycho-active results. Any cannabis w/skunk in it's strain-line should be avoided, as it's been continually shown to produce the most decremental effects to mental health. People that have bipolar w/major depression might want to avoid Indica stains & those w/more manic symptoms might want to avoid Sativa, but this is all something the individual has to discover for themselves. I had to search a very long time to find strains that wouldn't drag me into major depression. I stick to only those strains now, & I don't have any issues w/cannabis & my mood that aren't positive anymore. Good luck all.

  3. I understand that there is very little evidence on this topic. However, one has to wonder if the pharmacodynamic interactions between CBD and THC could change the outcomes of cannabis use in bipolar disorder patients. Cannabis is not one thing.

  4. Lots of bipolar episodes when I used to smoke weed. Quit weed for 15 years, no episodes for 15 years. Cannibus proscribed for PTSD, hospitalised with mania

  5. Hey guys im confused and I need help I never had any depression or anxiety symptoms before I smoke weed . I was always social person who loves gatherings and is always in the go and hanging outside the house. I started smoking weed all these effects crept up on me by time I quit and relapsed 4 times and now I’m going through withdrawl feeling intense depression anxiety and paranoia that people are lookin at me I’m basically now not leaving the house except night for a run. I know that’s not normal but what’s the solution. Should I take anti depression and anxiety meds ???? Btw just discovered I have adhd at 23 so not sure if that makes it even worst

  6. everyone that has bipolar believes if not for marajuna they could not deal with much stress pain social axiety moods for many it help shocking to realize this dont help disorder but as of schizophrenia i get it what weed does but some it helps

  7. I have had plenty of hypomanic episodes in my adult life (bipolar type 2) but only about two weeks ago had my introduction to a manic episode. I had a light beer and smoked about 1/8 of a cone (I only ever smoked tiny amounts), was feeling fantastic, then started to feel weird and BOOM, was patting my dog and was hit by intense mania. I’ve had about 3 manic episodes since. The worst part is I have become extremely irritable and more clumsy. I quit my job because it became too hard. My old therapist told me that one of his patients, who had no trace of mental illness, got drunk and high one night and had a manic episode and suddenly was full blown bipolar. Just be careful mixing weed and booze. Peace.

  8. Started microdosing cannabis 2 years ago, gradually increasing use until COVID hit and I stayed high 24/7. Using higher THC concentration strains interfered with my bipolar II treatment regimen (Lamictal, Wellbutrin XL, and Celexa) and I became hypomanic. Eventually quit my job, sold my truck, and decided to wean off of my meds and try to use CBD, CBG, and THC to manage bipolar and depression. After quitting Lamictal I became extremely depressed and suicidal, ended up in the hospital and had to restart all meds one at a time and taper back up very slowly. I was in the hospital at New Years and have been suicidal up until the beginning of May. Slowly feeling better. I still can’t believe I never considered how using marijuana could interfere my with my medical treatment. Would have been nice to have seen this talk a couple years ago.
