hey guys,

I have Bipolar 2 and its pretty severe with delusions. I am searching for something to heal me and i have smoked a lot of green in my life but i have never done it in a way that could heal me. do you think if i smoke a joint that is made of tobacco/salvia/herb 1/3 (1g) of each it will help me with my symptoms? because the tobacco will relax me with the the salvia will show me my symptoms and the herb will help me think it through after the trip is over with. does this make sence? what do you think?

thank you,
ELF

PS. Cabbage night= 2 stolen chickens, one thrown into a bar the other in a friends truck, smashed mailboxes about 12, pissed off drivers (driving 5 mph, flashing highbeams) + herb = Alot of fun!!....lol
 
idk about the weed/salvia joint for bipolar thing...sounds unlikely.

but cabbage night sounds fun. let's hear more about that.
 
oh man,
Cabbage night, me and some buddys got together because not many people do cabbage night around here and we felt like we had to be the ones to do it. none of us truly wanted to do it but we did as we felt it was our job and we did it to our fullest...

now the night started off with bannana one of my friends and been number two of my friends B, Bannana, wanted to do cabbage night it was originally our idea and we felt like we had to do this. so we asked been if he wanted to do it with us he said he did so we contacted and meet at beens house. there we found salesman number three of my friends.

we started off by smoking a bowl and then smashing a few mailboxes around we heard from B he wanted us to come over so we drove to his house smashing a few mailboxes. probably around 2 off and 1 smashed. we had fun but we felt like we werent living up to what a bunch of teens in a town should do so we felt like we needed 1 bad ass thing to do. without breaking a rule. (we probably broke a few but whatever...) so my idea was lets steal some chickens and get rid of them somewhere. we picked up george and went back towards beens house. there we smashed ALOT of mailboxes with a small pro teeball bat. i was the driver the whole time and i got to get out park the truck (standard) and smash a mailbox on the other side of the road, it was intense. so we were driving at some point my windows fogged up and i pulled out in front of a car, not sure what kind. and we diced i should high beam him so we did and then the car i pulled out in front of high beamed me so i turned it off then i did it again and the car did it again this went on for a bit then i started to flicker my high beams really fast. we all were pumped then at the next turn i thought i should lose him so i was going and did brake i just put my blinker on and turned imediatly. the car went fowards and we laughed (we were laughing the whole time). we remembered the chicken idea so i got an idea and we went to a farm close by my house. we decided bannana been and i would go get the chicken because salesman didnt want to. we left and snuck in back of the field they we looked in and we saw like what looked like 100+ chickens when we got to the chicken house. we i grabbed one and gave it to been and i grabbed another and jumped the fence stealthy as a fox. we got to the road and i gave it to banana then a car came and he gave it to me so i carried it to the truck. i gave it back and him and been sat in the back seat and they reaked so we were fast about getting them out.;)

Chicken one was cool, chicken two was a tweeker. we wanted to get rid of tweaker because he was annoying so we drove on the main road and then saw a friends truck parked on the side of the road we contemplated for like 10 mins about who should throw the chicken in. banana did and he shut the door fast and we got a kick out of it. we called him up and told him there was a chicken in his car and he was like oh shit,,,. we hung up and went down the road to the funniest thing i have ever done.

chicken two was chill and we decided it was his turn to do a deed for cabbage night. so we parked behind a min-mart and thought of the bar. we thought that maybe drunks would have a kick out of a chicken being thrown in to the bar. so we made a plan and been and banana both got out with chicken one. they were about to do something i will never forget. we watched him go down to the front door and open the door then they go in the mud room and a second later i see them running down the street so i pulled away and we meet up with them down the street a little ways. we had them get in the back and we sped off.

the rest of the night was lame compared to that part but we ended up tagging a few more mailboxes and egging some truck driving by. but all in all it was a good cabbage night. that will be the last year i ever do it because i have done my dues as a teen on cabbage night.

lol, thanks for reading that i thought i would type the story since i have some time to burn.
peace, Elf

if its poorly typed sorry i dont have enough time to read over it.

I'd be very careful of doing this.

In the past, weed never helped my bi-polar disorder. I have something between bipolar 1 & 2. When I was mis-medicated, the pot would make the symptoms much worse; the delusions would be extreme, I could hear people thinking evil things about me, and my energy/mood levels would be all over the place. Salvia made it much, much worse, since I had some bad trips that skewed my view of reality in an extremely negative way.

However, since I've been on good meds (and tobacco), the symptoms have all but disappeared. I can smoka da herb without any of the negative effects I had before. I think also DXM has helped, but I don't recommend taking it.

WTF???

to answer you're original question, NO - I don't think it will help your bipolar. Smoking less might help so you don't lose sight of your normal self.
 
lol yea i cant say it was fun because im not the type to do this sort of stuff but it was a way to get really pumped and let off some steam...

oh i wont smoke weed then since everyone says it has a negative affect.
thanks for all the tips.

i have bipolar 1 and weed helps me much more than any combo of meds ive tried
 
Salvia/weed/tobacco spliff (cherry bomb is what im calling it) works great for helping with my symptoms i feel so relaxed and clear headed. i feel the deep mediation with Salvia then good high for a few minutes afterwords and i also feel a head rush from the tobacco witch adds a great experience. it helps me with my bipolar symptoms a little bit. but i wouldn't do it a lot with bipolar just on occasion.
 
I have bipolar type I disorder and smoking weed is the worst possible thing that I could do; it triggers a manic episode in me along with drug-induced psychosis. Very, very bad idea to use drugs if you are bipolar. Even too much caffeine could trigger a manic episode in some people. People with bipolar disorder want to "fix" themselves by doctoring themselves up. We somehow know that there is something out of whack with our brains so we try to fix it with drugs. Unfortunately, the drugs always lead to more problems.

Also, stay the hell away from that moron teen vandalism stuff. It'll only get you in trouble and please try to think of how all of those people feel with their smashed mail boxes. That was a very dick thing to do.
 
i know it was, that is the point of cabbage night to forget that stuff and do it for the holliday. but i do feel very bad for those people. and i run every day that leaves my moods in a good balance and smoking herb doesnt do anything to me. i just was wondering if i do it enough it will help me or harm me. thanks for your advice.

its different for everyone... what makes some worse will make others better, bipolar is notorious for being difficult to predict what medications will work from one person to the next. its really difficult to say if it will harm you or not.
 
What is cabbage night?

Elf-If you are bipolar pot or other illegal drugs won't help. Try talking to a psychiatrist and get on the right meds, and don't self medicate with drugs/booze.

A friend of mine has rapid cyclic bipolar disorder where he has delusions and Seroquel helps him a lot.

Good luck.
 
Elf-If you are bipolar pot or other illegal drugs won't help.

based on what evidence? illegal doesnt mean that it has no use as a medication. if a drug is schedule I then research isnt permitted excepting very rare occasions.
 
Do not smoke weed or do any other drug if you are mentally ill obviously...

so if thats the case you shouldn't take anti psychotics or anti depressants or even aspirin if you are 'mentally ill'. what a load of SHIT.
 
You know what he means stop bullshitting. Ask ANY doctor and they will tell you using potent recreational drugs generally does not mix well with mental illness of any kind. Especially serious ones like bipolar.

the very first randomised, double blind study involving the effects of cannabinoids in people with BPD won't be concluded until 2010. therefore your doctor is not using science but dogma. we trust western medicine because it uses empirical data and facts not opinion.

It's common sense and many anecdotal reports. Just in this thread there is a person who claims it makes it much worse for them.

I think it is pretty reckless to suggest that cannabis should be used to treat bipolar when there are many reports of it causing an episode. That's fine if it works for you but don't recommend it to others.

im not saying it works for everyone, but to say it works for none or very few is disingenuous as there is plenty of anecdotal evidence in support of marijuana as well as against it for bipolar. no medication is a silver bullet.
EDIT: also antidepressants can trigger a manic episode for some people but are still dished out like candy. this shit just pisses me off sometimes
