I’m jumping into this conversation because of my love one’s experience with cannabis. After months of vaping cannabis (unbeknownst to me) my love one had a cannabis induced psychosis. He was a habitual user numerous times a day. His usage of alcohol increased. His aggravation increased daily as did the paranoia. Having the condition of bipolar compounded the issue. I won’t go into the details but not knowing what to do is by far the most upsetting. Someone in the medical field would have a better explanation regarding its use and the positive and negative effects of cannabis.
Our family’s observation of cannabis induced psychosis was painful. We are all in the drug rehabilitation and AA process. Keep the Dr. in the loop of your condition.
Wishing you the best and getting the best treatment available.

Greetings. I tried cannabis when it became legal in the state I was living in. I have been diagnosed bipolar, also in recovery, and several docs disagreed with the diangnosis and pegged me as having Major Depressive Disorder. In regards to cannabis, I ended up dependant upon it to lift my mood, but ended up severly depressed over 3 months time. My doctor told me studies showed it was not good to use in the elderly due to inducing psychiatric symptoms, compounding what was already present.
