I have a friend,who's bipolar,and she's currently on a manic,driving us all nuts..bless her heart,and one of my goals,is to grow a strain that will help her out..but if marijuana just exacerbates the problem,then I don't want to do that. When she's on a manic,I want to prescribe indica to calm her down,and when she's in the depression mode,I want to give her sativa,to pick her up.

Am I wrong in this approach ?

My girlfriend is afflicted with clinical depressive disorder-can't recall if it's major or minor,and sativa seems to be her favorite,in terms of what lifts her spirits the most. After trying several different meds,a former doctor once told her that he wished he could prescribe marijuana for her-because she wasn't gittin any good results from the regimen he'd prescribed..but when she started smoking pot in the absence of meds,she improved greatly-which he noted..somewhat to his surprise.

Anyhow..I was just curious on your take on this.

Have a good one...Torog
from personal observations and self medication

you have it right
indica strian put me on couch
sativa make me wanna do things
but that my bipolar mind ,not saying its all folks

but note,
i get a rush of energy off narcotics like hydrocodone speeds me up at first
then they lay me out after a few hours
thankfully i dont use them dialy.maybe few time a week when pain is bad

have a good one
and your a good guy for helping that chick
