Cannabis and Bipolar Disorder

Can Cannabis assist with bipolar disorder?! Today Jack and I have a more serious topic for you, which is bipolar disorder, otherwise known as “BD.”

Why is this topic important? Because 2.3 million AMERICANS are affected by this annually (~3% of the population), but that number is amplified by how they may affect other people as well.  

             -up to 25%-60% of these attempt suicide at one point in their lives.

Resources as to Where to get help if you think you have BD:

American Psychiatric Association (APA)

Brain and Behavior Research Foundation

International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD)

National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)
