Yes weed can cause problems in people with mental disorders, like bipolar disorder for example. Weed, like many psychedelics, can amplify emotions that you are feeling. If you feel insecure, weed could make you feel more insecure. If you are depressed it could make you feel more depressed and so on. At the same time marijuana can, in a person of the right mindset, help. If you feel like smoking is causing problems, just give it a break for a little or cut back how much you smoke.
40oz Reviewed by 40oz on . marijuana and bipolar disorder does anyone use marijuana as a mood stabilizer? i have bipolar disorder with acute psychosis, and i respond better to pot than any medications i have ever been prescribed. however all the research ive done tells me this is total bullshit and im actually agitating my psychosis by smoking pot. am i going to end up totally fucked down the line if i continue medicating myself in this manner?
