Hi Camping, so sorry you're going through this. I have similar situations with my 2 teens both dx bipolar. I had my 16 yr old son hospitalized twice in the past 2-3 weeks. He makes like he's ok and they release him.
I worry about the pot. I used to be a total pot head when i was young. But just today my son fell on floor crying and punching the wall because he can't find his weed. He says it's his medicine. But I see my child totally unstable and addicted to it. He doesn't just smoke it occasionally like most people, he can smoke like an eighth in an evening and that's an expensive habit. I just don't see it helping him, I think he thinks it helps.
My son is also on lithium and klonopin by the way. These meds seem to be helping slowly, the klonopin though he does complain it's not working like it used to.
Good luck
