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.

No, one scientific article entitled “Cannabis- THC and Bipolar Disorder”.

Wrong. "There is good evidence that the petitioner is gaining great relief from his use of cannabis based upon his physician’s assessment as well as the fact that he has remained non-hospitalized since his use began 10 years ago. It appears that Cannabis has managed the manic phase effectively after many unsuccessful medication trials. The side-effect profile is well within acceptable range. It is reasonable to extrapolate from the petitioner’s experience to conclude that there are a significant number of Oregonians who may benefit from medically monitored cannabis use."
