> Sorry to sound ultra-conservative, but I disagree greatly with your pdoc. I think marijuanna should be avoided at all costs, especiall by those who have existing psychopathologies. In fact, all recreational drugs (with the exception of nicotine etc) should be avoided I think. Drugs are illeagal for good reasons...> I agree with the above. It is well known that marijuana can induce or exacerbate types of symptomologies as those found in the Bipolar person. So why would anyone want to take a chance on reducing their chances for stability, and feeling healthy again. I am not anti marijuana, but I do think that people with mood disorders or Psychotic patterns need to be very cautious with the use of marijuana.
