So now pot is "the" prescription drug for bipolar disorder.

Propping up more straw men, I see.

I see; and his prescription form is probably signed: Dr. Timothy Leary.

Cannabis- THC and Bipolar Disorder (Included with patient's petition) Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base [ Institute of Medicine, 1999.]
A. Describes the action of cannabinoids at cellular level as consistent with those that would decrease mania. (See petition notes)
B. Describes side-effect profile as "within the range tolerated for other medications."
GRADE: Good evidence that cannabis side effects fall well within acceptable range. Fair evidence that cannabis reestablishes neurotransmitter balance in some manner that decreases manic symptoms. - http://www.omma1998.org/EG_Bipolar.pdf

One case?! And they admit that!

I bet I can find a case where a person improved their bipolar disorder when they wore one dress shoe and one tennis shoe. Would this be a breakthrough?

From what I was able to get from your article (thanks) and others is that marijuana is not recommended for any psychiatric illness.

You know what the problem is? If people were left alone to medicate or do their whatevers as they pleased, these control freaks would wither away and die; their lives would have no purpose anymore. robertpaulsen would have to get his OWN life instead of annoying his betters. And even the lowest crack-addicted street bum is the better of a drug warrior. Because they will at least die off and their addiction with them if they refuse assistance to get off drugs... the drug warriors keep proliferating through the gooberment propaganda camps (the pubic skools) and it might take a major blood-bath to get rid of these Constitution-raping hyenas...
