MastaChronic, I'm in Cali, not Oregon, but since the Israelis are using MMJ for ptsd, I imagine it is doable. Here is a news article about it. http://www.drugpolicy.org/news/08_09_04israel.cfm As for bipolar, it would be tougher, since some studies suggest that it might worsen the condition. Others say it helps. I am mildly bipolar (Mom was a full-fledged bipolar, I'm "moody" and can see a "watered down" version of her behavior in me) and cannabis DEFINATELY helps me maintain a more level emotional state. Here's a pro-con discussion of it. http://www.medicalmarijuanaprocon.or....5805565542363 When you go to the doctor, go armed with abstracts to support your case. You need to run a search on --cannabis abstract bipolar (or ptsd) (this is a good way to research ANY disease and cannabis). Having scientific studies to back your claims never hurts and might even educate your doctor. My regular doctor admitted to me that he used to smoke in his college days, but he's too scared of the feds to be a cannabis recommender. So I see Dr. Sullivan, bring him a big load of cannabis abstracts (summaries of scientific studies) and keep my migraines at bay for another year. (If you think migraines are a trivial reason for MMJ, have a migraine and then see what you say. Mine are from being attacked with a hammer, resulting in several dents in my skull and incredible migraines. I was 3 years old when it happened. I found cannabis eliminated them when I was 19- I'm 59, now. Cannabis has been a life-changing experience for me.) CANORML has a list of cannabis specialists. Good luck it getting legal.
