I am bi-polar, and I went on medicine for the first time when I was 15. That was for depression at the time, and the anxiety came when I was about 17.

First time I smoked pot, I was 15, after the medicine. I never started buying my own bags until I was about 18.

So no, cannabis for me is not to blame for my illness. I got it from my mother, and my mother got it from her mother. I have lack of serentonin flow in my brain. It cann;t be helped with out medicine.
