Up until the last two weeks I was a heavy user. I managed to stay straight during the day but by 6pm I was heavily stoned throughout the evenings. My pdoc has always been against me using due to interference with my meds but I was desperate to 'check-out' each evening as the daily activities usually overwhelmed me. I think I used it more for my PTSD than BP as it calms me and makes me more light hearted. It is also an excellent pain killer for my Fibromyalgia. As I have been smoking it for years I have become worried about my lungs and two weeks ago I got a bad cold and could hardly breathe and my lungs hurt. This freaked me out so much I have hardly smoked since then and now plan to try making cookies. If I don't like them I will quit. I have had no withdrawals or cravings coming off it and have not noticed any change in my mood.
