pot vs bipolar meds

does anyone agree with this or use pot to?

i wonder if it is a problem or helpin me

i hurt so bad right now inside, not emotionally

so im gonna smoke my morning bowl but i wonder if anyone else does this.. if i smoke a bowl when i wake up i feel no pain , im totally happy, but i cant function to well lol

Do you have other issues going on?

and yes pot is not going to help dealing with problems

i understand

i just wonder if others use pot to medicate instead of pills

i know i cant be the only one

So I stopped smoking very quickly after that. Its not a good feeling.

I share this with others because I do believe there are medicinal benefits and I wish our country would do the research and prove the point, or legalize and let us find out with the help of physicians.

I am thinking that most people smoke strong weed and lots of it and maybe thats why I had better results than most of the people whose stories I have heard. I was not disabled by my smoking and in fact it was just the opposite. It gave me the ability to function and control the worst features of my illness. And I told every one of my docs and had no objections from a single one of them.

I have not smoked since finding full treatment with medication and I only desire to smoke if a have mood problems. I am going through a very difficult time presently with a thyroid condition and I could really use a big fat one at the moment.

I hope we can share our successes and failures with the use of pot as treatment and try to learn more. I don't consider smoking as a treatment per se just a way to temporarily alleviate symptoms. However if it were formulated into a slow release medication I think it could be very significant as a treatment.

What do you think?

Sorry if I offended. But the past 3 months have been some of the best months for me willing to take appropriate steps to get my life in order. There are non-narcotic pills that take away pain too. Only there not as fun. Medical marijuana is simply California's way of saying ,"we can't win this fight. Lets make it more acceptable." Again, I don't mean to offend. I just feel I've waisted 22 plus years of my life being high when there is without a doubt better ways to live.

Take care.

Do people realize that pot is not a cultivated plant by nature? It grows wild, especially in Missouri where I grew up and it was mixed into our lawn like real grass. I believe everything on this earth deserves examination by science because these things were all put here for a reason. Most of our prescription medications are synthesized for reasons of potency, consistency, and it is less expensive to mass produce. Many of them are less useful this way but big business really doesn't care about that.

I just didn't have the life-in-a-haze that most smokers have because I didn't smoke that way. I'm not saying I never did and I won't say I didn't get high smoking medicinally. I will say that I wonder if science could synthesize medicinal properties from pharmaceutical marijuana and help people feel better without the high.
