Manic/Bypolar and marijuanna

[Sauce]

Cannabis helps me with my bi-polar disorder and a few other things.
Talk to your dad about it, the plant can cure many things

Sauce Reviewed by Sauce on 06-19-2006. Manic/Bypolar and marijuanna My dad is EXTREMELY manic. Although he is against smoking weed.. he did smoke one time like 14 years ago with his friend who had some weed and all it did was make him sleep but he can't get high. I asked his friend for his side of the story and he told me that it made him.. normal. In fact, it made him so normal that it was scary because my dad is usually hyper or just plain fucking crazy. How does weed affect people who are bypolar? My dad is VERY crazy so this is not a minor illness. Rating: 5

Yes, Bipolar/mania can be helped by smoking/eating/vaporizing marijuana. The higher quality the better. It has very relaxing effects to people with anxiety/bi polar mood disorders. If he doesn't want to burn it, just make some cannabutter, and bake some cookies or brownies, tell him to eat a few of them a day and I guarantee it will be a great addition to his meds, this being an all natural one :thumbsup:

I could not agree anymore!! I suffer from anxiety and depression, I smoke and Im fine!!! My med alone doesnt help. I agree LEGALIZE THE SHI*

Here here.

If you're f**ked up then you're f**ked up. Weed isn't going to make it better/worse for you so just light one up!

We are prone to addictions, generally one of four common issues: Work, sex, drugs, alcohol. Point is workaholism, sexaholic or offender, drug addict, or drunk. If you look you probably know which one your dad is compulsively absorbed in. Some can be responsible, others just don't seem to have the ability.

Ever since we were robbed he became extra manic and started drinking.
He never drank before but now I catch him every now and then wasted out of his mind when he comes home.

Only once did he become manic to the point where cops had to tie him to a bed. But that's because he drank rum and coke (hard liquor). That was the first time he ever got amazingly wasted and he won't do it again. He only gets wasted off wine and beer now and the drunkness isn't bad at all (he just talks loud and acts funny but thats all.. bothers my mom like hell though).

Some of you might recall the event of the night my dad took his friend out and they ran out without paying the bill. At first I heard it was a 300 dollar tab, and now I hear it's 1000 dollars. (Manics tend to lie like that out of disillusions in truths.)

Today I caught him bringing home a corona.

There are four kinds of bipolar disorders: bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothmia, and nonspecified disorders. Mania can easily be controlled with Weed, more likely, Sativa, in the case of bipolar I. I'd think.

With bipolar II, the mania and depression can be maintained with a common high.

I read it in 1999. I'll see what I can find with a search.

hey is that true in your sig about passing pot through water?

Chemical analysis revealed many different compounds in the smoke and in the water, as expected from the combustion of plant materials. The water did trap some THC, as well as other psychoactive compounds, however, most of the THC present in the marijuana passed through the water pipe unchanged. Pharmacological tests (in mice) revealed that some of the water-trapped marijuana compounds were responsible for producing catatonia and for suppressing spontaneous motor activity. In contrast, the water-filtered smoke itself did not affect spontaneous motor activity and did not induce catatonia, though it was richer in THC. These results indicate that water filtration removes some behaviorally active compounds in preference to others; this may be important when comparing the therapeutic effects of whole marijuana smoke to water-filtered smoke.

Hey Beach, very Interesting. Saw my Doc today, Interestingly when I discussed this with him he came back with a sheet showing the primary neurotransmitters, when certain ones are low cravings begin that acually mask of increase the deficiency .......... specifically Serotonin deficiencies will prompt many to aether use alcohol or weed.

The issue with bipolar is still more complex,. due to the fact that some people lean toward mania, and others toward depression. I'll scan it some time and post.
Can't now. I'll also read your site later,................

Pride, I still don't think your dad Is close to the right med. therapy. also, some people don't want to be well. It's not our place to consider that, However, It is painful to see our loved ones, not jive here in their skin. By the sounds of it I question his responsibility of another substance that he will not be able to keep in reasonable bounds. Your old man desperately needs to find the right Doc.
