I am mentally addicted to marijuana. I started smoking daily in HS, basically to deal with the comedown from my ADD medication (adderall). Although, after being sober, I still want to self medicate with marijuana, and I notice myself exhibiting signs of bipolar disorder. I go into these manic phases followed by depressive, and even my GP evaluated a slight bipolar disorder. I just notice it much more when I haven't smoked any weed.
I guess my point is that the cannabis plant has helped me greatly over the years, and it really seems like I need it, which is why my mind urges to self-medicate with it constantly. I am curious if anyone else here has tried cannabis as their medication to treat their depression/bipolar disorders. From reading the posts, a lot of others sound very similar to myself.
