Hey green fingers and welcome to AFN bro, glad to have you with us. There is a medical section that may be of real help to you. I am not too sure if it is available to you or not but I am going to report your post and maybe a mod can move it there for you. There are several that have tested meds for psychiatric disorders and I know of a few guys that have been sober for some time here as well that may be able to give you some support with that. It is an awesome family here.

I am not very knowledgeable on autos to help with bipolar but I am sure that Mossy or one of the med section mods will be able to help you with that one. There is a Super here by the name of DubV that is real knowledgeable with medical conditions as well that can probably help steer you in a good direction.

Best of luck bro!

I´d say a strain with 1:1 THC:CBD ratio or there about may suit you! Check out Dutch Passion´s medical section!

Hey green fingers


I been off alchohol now for coming up on 18 years. I suffer from depression and anxiety.

I know that using cannabis as a substitute for alchohol is very compelling. But are you able to put down the drink AND quit the bottle too?

When I started, I couldn't consider using cannabis, until I was four or five years without alchohol.

If you can swing this, bravo to you. But I would consider quitting EVERYTHING, until you have more control of things in your whole life.

If you cannot fathom yourself without cannabis, then of course we will help where we can, I just think it might be difficult for you.

I don't think any 1 strain is going to make all that much difference, however make sure it doesn't make you feel unconfortable. Some sativa's can do that to some folks. I would look for a good indica hybrid.

1:1 CBD's might be your goal in this case. Something good for your state of mind may not suit you better.

But they are hard to find and regular strains can do the job as well.

That is what I would reccomend.

Next, I would make sure you were eating correctly, and not ingesting foods that make you uncomfortable.

Look at your PH, get a PH meter and see if you are below 7.0 We notice that depression sufferer's usual run a low urine PH

It is all about avoiding stress while you go through this also.

Try to smoke as much as you need. Nothing from a bottle will ever be as good, no matter how much your brain will try to convince you otherwise.

I don't was you to think this will be easy, but it IS doable.


bye for now,

I'm an anxiety and bipolar sufferer. Diagnosed last year hospitalised 3 times because the hallucinations, panic attacks and depression would not calm.

I smoked in school days which was back in 2007 and nthen 8 years later i smoked again. I had a fat spliff and my anxiety hallucinations were so intense sooooooo intense, makes a funny story of what i saw and thought was real. ( this was in october 2013)

Street weed u do not know the strength of it. If you suffer from anxiety related MH issues or depression I suggest a very tiny bit no bigger than a piece of cornflake of lemon haze.

The day i thought I had died was the day i smoked 1.5 grams of it thinking everything will be okay. Since then I've learned my lesson and stuck to a minute amount when my mood is up or down / when I am not feeling well.

Learn your triggers, create a mantra. Mine is no situation is bigger than me & If God puts me through it I can do it. When feeling panicked i just repeat it again and again and it helps.

Healthy life style, exercise, go out with friends laughhh. even if its watching stupid videos on youtube...

Would anyone like to hear the story of the day I thought I died?

While I don't specifically have personal experience with bipolar, my crew and I have ptsd and I've got a couple of partially useless psychology degrees lol. There are some studies, although flawed and some outdated, that suggests that the purer Sativa strains can worsen many psychological issues. They can also worsen psychotomimetic effects like acute anxiety, heart rate, ect. So alot of people with anxiety and ptsd like to go with Indica strains or hybrids Also, higher CBD can counteract some of the aforementioned effects. Thus, with that considered, and with concerns for quicker finishing plants, I would consider looking into some of the short and quick Indica strains, hopefully with some CBD. Autos will have naturally slightly higher CBD than an equivalent photoperiod plant. Just a couple examples of nice fast Indicas would be the Pakistani Ryder as mentioned, Afgan Kush Ryder, or even Williams 60 Day Wonder is very Indica dominant Just some thoughts Oh, Leafly.com is a pretty good research resource for strains and reading reports of medicinal effects from users.

Here is my point, and has been since a long time ago, before joining this site.

We are drawn to cannabis for a reason. Reasons just like this thread.

It is no accident that cannabis is in our lives, our bodies see the need for this medicine, and it makes us curious and we crave it, until we get enough in our lives that we are getting all the benefits both pstchologically and Physically.

It is one of the best medicines, because it works with our bodies naturally, and not against it like some big pharmaceutical medicines.

lemon haze works for me, for some reason its the hazes coz i tried amnesia haze once and I was singing along to music dancing like i never danced before and just felt creative.

This was whilst I was hospitalised for a suicide attempt...
