Before I was diagnosed I self medicated entirely with Marijuana. My therapists know all about it as well as psych... personally. . It was the best medicine for me.... you have to understand I was not getting out right stoned.. I was taking one hit every 3 hours roughly... I managed very well that.. I knew I had problems but never ever thought it was bp.... I did this for 8 years... I quit once we had kids... and that's when no sleep and much more came up... I don't intend to endorse drugs.. but i personally believe there is a place for Marijuana in certain circumstances.. (cancer.. aids... fairly strong brain disorders... it was different to me... I just wanted the world to slow down... it did that and I still felt life.. felt love.. etc... Meds designed for this sucks alot of that stuff out of you... just my opinion..... I'm 32 goto church (i know that doesn't mean everything) have 3 kids.. married... mortgage... blah blah.. I'm as responsible as i can try to be.. it drains me.. but i would consider getting a script if it was legalized in my state.... the quality of life would be better for people around me not just me... and i don't have to stink of it... other ways then just smoking... i always drown on.. sorry
