Is it bad to smoke weed if you are bi polar and have adhd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad to the bone: Smoking weed is generally bad for mental functioning and can magnify the problems of attention in adhd and the mood problems and motivational fluctuations of bipolar - there are other health risks as well. If one has adhd and bipolar, both of which tend to interfere with functioning - thinking that adding another problem is a good idea is a sure sign....To get off the pot : ).
