I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 disorder 5 years ago, and was told not to smoke pot. I had a lot of trouble with smoking pot and the disorder, but ever since I finally quit it with marijuana and alcohol two years ago the disease has become more manageable. It's still very hard at times, but I feel stronger and more capable to handle the episodes.
I have several friends, with bipolar, who insist on smoking marijuana.
