Does marijuana help you if you are bi-polar?

It is common belief within the medical field that marijuana will worsen the Bipolar disorder. There are those who swear that the weed has helped them A LOT and then you have those within the medical field who laugh at these people. The sad truth is this, not enough research has been done and most doctors, less you find a very experimental one, would most likely not prescribe you medical marijuana. However, I am bipolar and I used to smoke it on a regular basis and I really thought that it helped me. My anxiety would literally vanish and my mania was pretty much non-exsistent. HOWEVER, I also was under the impresion it was making the depression side of my bipolar disorder worse. I say self medicate yourself at your own risk. I am on invega and wellbutrin and feel better than I have in years. I say stick with what is proven to work rather than something that is a big mystery.

in my other personal studies not only has medical marijuana shown decreases in my weight, anxiety,cholesterol, andhunger. as though eating medical marijuana has proven more efficient.
