Most likely not: Bipolar disorder entails mood lability and also struggles with excessive euphoria and disinhibition. The abuse of marijuana may lead to exacerbation of these phenomena for some individuals. Could we imagine scenarios where marijuana could help someone with bipolar disorder at certain phases of their illness? Perhaps, however I do not believe that any of us are smart enough how to time it right.

Bipolar: I seriously doubt that weed will help with bipolar disorder. If in fact you think you may have bipolar consult with a qualified mental health professional who specializes in diagnosing bipolar. Best wishes.

Weed: Weed has no effect on stabilizing moods, not to mention its own effect on destabilizing them.
