Does your pdoc know about the MJ? I used to enjoy it myself, but it's not compatible with a nursing license in my state and I'm not about to risk what I worked so hard for, just to obtain a few moments of mellow. Although I have to admit, I really
liked mellow.
I know your situation is different, but I also am heeding my pdoc's advice to stay away from it because he's seen clinical evidence that it makes bipolar worse, and Lord knows I don't need THAT.
