Hi,

I work as a mental health technician in Texas. I deal every day with people who are bipolar and schizophrenic.

You have to be very careful when you have a mental illness like BPD and you are using marijuana. Many BP people have developed chemical dependency to their drugs of choice. The symptoms of BPD are the main reasons why someone develops those problems but the chemical doesn't help either. Of course you feel better and don't have mood swings; YOUR HIGH. You feel good. Just be careful when you come down because you can crash hard.

In defense I have to say that most (like 99%) of the BP people I work with are addicted to alcohol or crack cocaine, not marijuana. But you still need to be careful.

I hope my opinion helped in any way. I have a BA in psychology and now I am a graduate student here in Texas and I am going for my LPC and then afterwards I plan on going to med school. Psychiatric illnesses are the field I work in. Just thought I'd let you know in case you questioned what I know.
