if u have bipolar and schizophrenia say no to drugs weed and alcohol and psychedelics, this is coming from someone who has more than a decade worth of experience, i used to think it was helping, it wasnt and didnt, sober lifeeeeee and still manic af
Almost 10 years of no chanabis, alcohol and no meds and i didn't had a single episode of mania, only depresion from time to time but not long and deep ones, being clean from weed and alcohol, walking, reading, just slower pase life helped me control bipolar very good, and when you stop you realize that its not good anyway.
The big reason many bipolar have negative experiences with weed is mostly down to the shockingly low quality of the weed. It wasnt until I grew my own and realised just how bad the stuff you get is. Full of chemicals cause it hasn't been flushed properly. Stomach pains from the leftover nutriments that were not flushed.
And nearly all street weed isn't cured for long enough to smooth out the taste and remove the toxins.
I was hospitalized when out of my head on weed, but the weed wasn't really the problem, it was other factors in my life that were damaging the beneficial effects of weed. Coupled with tainted weed and bipolar and you have a disaster waiting to happen.
My doctor advised that growing your own where you have greater control over the quality and the breed is the best way for bipolar people. And I have found that.
But you said the other option is anti-depressants. They are much worse than weed and do so much damage to your body and mind. In fact, most are more addictive and much less effective.
You are at the stage where the novelty of anti-depressants is still relatively strong. Once you look into them , you will see that they are useless and mostly a massive marketing trick by the pharma companies. Also, I don't know who superscribed you with them, but they are not advised for bipolar. Lithium, Sodium Valporate; those are the ones they give. Drugs that turn you into a vegetable or has serious long-term health damage. For example, Sodium Valopate was one of the go-to drugs for bi-polar but in the UK it has been stopped due to it cause infertility amongst men over 30. Lithium is breathtakingly bad for your body. You are basically dumping tons of salt into your body.
You might think the manic episodes are caused by weed, but usually there is an underlying problem that you are failing to address. The faith you have in the medical industry is, I'm afraid mostly misplaced. All they want to do is give you pills that make you sicker. It is not in their interest for you to smoke weed, no just take their expensive placebo's (and most of them are especially serotonin-based ones which has been proven to have no affect on overall dopamine levels).
Methadone and fentanyl have serotonergic properties which are much more effective than SSRI which are basically just weaker forms of synthetic opiates. Given the choice between opiate addiction or weed, I will choose nature's way. HTH
In your opinion😂 It helps prevent mood swings It quiets racing thoughts so you can concentrate better Or maybe I should take some man made chemical that gives you tardive disorder muscle movement Have you fudge tarts seen the advertisements on television? All those negative side effects, hundreds of them If marijuana was all that bad the ancient Chinese, Indian and Egyptians would have written about it🧫
I find this very interesting as i have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and i have smoked weed for like 25 years and I feel lile it has helped me immensely, almost as of i would not have made it this far without it. It helps with my moods alot ! Helps with the depression, takes the edge off when im irritable, makes me happy go lucky and fun to be around. And well . . I like it 🤷♂️
Ugh seriously, speak for yourself🙄 Marijuana helps me eat, sleep, socialize, pain for my disability, and prevent suicidal ideation. I'm bipolar II, been diagnosed for 16 yrs. Unlike you I go to therapy, take 3 medications, practice self awareness, regulated my emotions, and smoked lovely marijuana. I'm still alive and kicking. You can't just do ONE thing and expect it to be great. Also. It doesn't push everyone into mania, and you shouldn't go around telling people that. Next time maybe label your video "my experience with mania and cannabis". That way it's a story not facts that end up as an opinion.
I live in mania and only come out of it straight to anger and the only thing that helps is cannabis all the psyche meds I’ve taken have been horrible and I’ve taken them all I exercise as much as possible and that’s a short term solution living with my toxic wife has made my bipolar disorder worse and she just tells me to “behave” Wellbutrin makes me more manic they are currently giving me 300 mgs extended release of Wellbutrin and 100 mgs of seroquel and I feel horrible on both.
Yeah all these states in the US are just so anxious to legalize marijuana but at the same time trying to push for more “health care “access and pushing for tax payers to pay for it.
I’m bipolar am going on 4 months sober from smoking weed. The urge to smoke is still there but I’m thinking of talking to my doctor soon about smoking cbd instead. I don’t think I’ll ever smoke weed again as it contributed to my manic episodes. Especially my first manic episode last year where I smoked weed with wax and literally lost my mind. I’m glad I’m doing better now though because being manic is such a pain 😓
This is completely not true, my wife has bipolar and siezures and weed is the most effective thing for her. And of course it's not present while your high and much worse when your not because going from feeling good back to your bipolar because your not using weed means your in your normal state now. Weed helps with literally everything so quot spreading lies about a drug that has the least side effects of any medicine that could exist
Thank you for sharing. You're a brave man and we need more like you today, it's very important as Ai will be disrupting society so much in the coming years.
Thank you so much for sharing. I recently quit cannabis (<2 weeks ago) cold turkey, after 10 years of nonstop use, after I saw how it really was fueling my manic episodes (which I didn't even realize were manic, but after reflecting on my thoughts/desires/loss of friendships & jobs & other habits…yeah… not good). I've also noticed that my recovery time in this depressive period has improved a lot since quitting cannabis. So I'm hoping that getting rid of cannabis will resolve the problem entirely, and I really do feel it will. For some reason I don't want to take medications, but only time will tell if I need to, I guess. Thanks for sharing!
Have not smoked for a while, but ive noticed that indica strains have helped when im on a upwards cycle but sativa is worse than if i had done speed or Coke
Nobody can convince me that meds are better than weed.

What about indica? I don't like smoking sativa at all because it triggers psychosis for me. I like indica for mostly the sleep factor.
In your opinion😂
It helps prevent mood swings
It quiets racing thoughts so you can concentrate better
Or maybe I should take some man made chemical that gives you tardive disorder muscle movement
Have you fudge tarts seen the advertisements on television?
All those negative side effects, hundreds of them

Total opposite for me. Everyone is different though!
cannabis has helped my bipolar/depression a TON!
I have bipolar 2 i recognized that after smoking cannabis i go into hypomania quick, i will avoid cannabis, i don't need it.
I'm smoking weed as I watch this video
I smoke all day. It goes well with my medication and I'm extremely stable!

Oops… watching this right after I smoked 😬 I've been wanting to quit though so I guess this gives a better reason.
Congratulations on being free from cannabis
My mom has bipolar disorder what should I not do
Depends on Strain and the type of Bipolar disorder. Though we're all entitled to our own opinions.
Yeah all these states in the US are just so anxious to legalize marijuana but at the same time trying to push for more “health care “access and pushing for tax payers to pay for it.
