My friend who graduated from John Hopkins at the top of his class some 35 years ago tells me marijuana does wonders for his bi-polar patients. I just started using marijuana for the first time last December and it puts me to sleep. There is a youtube video out right now that talks about the medical benefits of marijuana vs. tobacco. The doctor in the video was part of a 30 year study by the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse. These people do all the research for the DEA. The drug that we bi-polar people have to stay away from is cocaine. Any kind of stimulant is not good for us; definitely stay away from diet pills that rev up your metabolism. Also, do not mix marijuana with alcohol or any other drug.

I am reading the previous comments and I am in tears , the love of my life has been using Marijuana to relax him, instead it has made him a angry dictator , everything is my fault the littlest things sets him off and the things he says to me when he is smoking has become unbearable , I am trying to hold on but I cannot any longer , he is in denial about the use of his constant Marijuana usage and I am afraid of him , he has run everyone out of his life including me , I want him to get help or cut down his usage but I am afraid to confront him because of his backlash . Sincerely, HEARTBROKEN

you are the first who mention the real deal, the weed will give you some calm and paitence, and that is what it will take away from you agin when you are comming out of the 'high' it is lenting money in the bank with high intrest, what it give you it will take away ( with intrest) and by the way, that is the way with all drugs

100% same here. He is my husband of 2 years and is a completely different person. I never thought it was the weed until my sister mentioned it. And I realized his increased use has correlated with his behavior. He hates me he is asking for a divorce and like you every single little thing is "my fault". What in the world?! I truly believe if they have the gene for addiction then when they use any kind of substance this is what happens :( I am a nurse yet he won't believe anything I try to explain. I don't know what to do. I even offered getting the oil without ThC to help him get away from it yet still help his anxiety. He refuses. I believe in the oil use but ThC is of the devil!

I miss my good man too. When we first met and were dating he was the kindest sweetest person. Then his using started and escalated and we now rarely talk. I'm trying hard for counseling as we are young and only married 2 years. Our marriage deserves better.

I am going through the exact same thing. My husband hates me and I have not done anything to make him hate me. He smokes all day everyday, and I cannot tell what days he will be angry or happy. I love when he is happy to the point I try so hard to keep him that way. But if I say one wrong thing or move the wrong way or look the wrong way, it will trigger it all over to where he is mad at me again. I often ask myself, does he hate me or does he love me, I don't know. And I don't know because I can't see which is the real him. I cry daily and I hate crying because I do not want my kids to see me crying. I try and tell my kids to please stay out of your dads way because he is in a mood and I don't want my kids to get yelled at just for asking him a simple question so I just tell them to leave him alone he is not feeling well. I hate that I have to do that but I have to keep the peace. Its so stressful and hard living with someone who loves weed more than you. I just wish it would all burn away.
Crying is my daily routine and I hate it, but when he gets angry he does not care if I bullet struck me in the chest. He does not care if I was being raped in front of him he would not rescue me. He would not care if I broke my legs and could not walk. He would not care if I die in my sleep. He just would not care. He does not care if I cry nor hurt from him treating me bad he just ignored me llike saying get over it. So sorry if you guys think weed does not mess with anger sorry but it does. It hurts when you love love love that person and that weed makes him hate you.

My husband has changed too. He gets upset every time the high starts to fade. Until he gets high I again. He gets mad over anything that is not done his way. Small things anger him. He makes you feel like its your fault. He does this with me, the kids, and his best friend. Even at his job. The doctor did tell him he needs to get off it. It makes moods swing from one extreme to another. However, my husband tried one to quick and had horrible withdrawal and was very ill. He also believes he needs it. He doesn't think its an issue. Some days I wonder if I should leave. Plus, he likes it cause it keeps him thin. Way to thin in my opinion. He lost over 60 pounds using it and eats one meal a day. He is never wants to eat much. I read when your high you don't get hungry. You get hungry when it starts to fade. In his case he is too angry at that point to eat anyway. Anyway, I wish everyone the best of luck.

Stop smoking now, if you can. I have a 21 year old son who smokes non-stop. He is the angriest, most violent person I've ever seen. He's angry when he doesn't have enough weed, he's angry when he buys more and smokes too much, he's angry when he doesn't have enough money to buy more, he's angry when he has no money because he's spent it all on marijuana, etc. I admit that he had other problems to begin with, but marijuana hasn't helped him AT ALL; whereas he could have been helped by other meds and possibly have had a decent life. As it stands, he's going to end up dead or in jail. My advice: If it's not working for you, stop doing it NOW before you're addicted. Otherwise, you'll ruin your life and the lives of everyone around you.

Your husband most likely is OVERSTRESSED. You said he is ONLY one working. Would he be able to drop in hours? Get a less stressful job? Change the stressors in his life? Probably not. What he CAN do is smoke weed. Not saying it's right. Just saying I have been there.

I smoked marijuana as a college kid 40 years ago but gave it up after graduation. I then went into substance abuse counseling, but I'm now retired, and so I decided to start smoking marijuana again. Man! What a difference! It is 50 times stronger than the stuff I smoked 40 years ago. One hit and I'm flying. I was never a heavy user, and I smoke only a couple times a week now, but I have noticed two things: one is that the dopamine rush to the pleasure center of the brain is extremely strong -- frankly, stronger than I like. Sure, I'm enjoying it, but I don't feel in control of the high the way I used to. Secondly, the next day, and sometimes for a few days after, I am really irritable, or my moods swing from normal to depressed. Normally I'm a kind of upbeat person, and I have no reason to be depressed, yet here I am, the next day, fighting a depressed mood. Then I think, "Well, I could just toke up and take care of that" and I start to see how addictive marijuana can become. Because, as a substance abuse counselor, I KNOW how addicts think, and it's just like that. I'm not an addictive personality, but I don't care who you are, if you take enough of, say, oxycontin, you'll get hooked. And I'm starting to wonder if the same isn't true of this modern weed as well. The dopamine push and the subsequent come down causes the swings, I'm sure of it. Either the brain craves more dopamine, or weed messes with your seratonin levels temporarily such that you can't regulate your emotions until your seratonin levels come back to normal. If you keep smoking, it delays it that much longer. So, much as I enjoy getting high, I'm thinking it's just not worth it. I don't want to be irritable and unhappy for 2 days after having taken a single hit. I can't imagine what it must be like for daily users. Getting off this powerful modern weed has got to be as hard as getting off opiates, I'm guessing.

I have smoked pot on and off my whole life, I find when I'm stoned I feel calm and happy. BUT! When I burn out it's a whole different story, everything will piss me off, I get agitated and sometimes I even feel violent and enraged. I love smoking pot but it's not worth it. Quit smoking it for a few months and you will see a change.

I have found myself in a similar situation with my partner of 7 1/2 years. He began smoking it approximately 18 months ago and is becoming more verbally aggressive, lies about where he goes and how often he does it. I am agonising about whether to end it now because he is changing beyond the person I fell in love with but because I do still love him I keep hoping he will give it up, even though he's refused to do it for me even when I told him it was that or me. Apparently, a partner has no right to request anyone gives up something they like for them and he was prepared to let me go. I do feel I will eventually leave him and it's devastating but I am out of options for trying to resolve this. For a period he stopped doing it for me but he was unbearable and made me suffer for it. I just want to say thank you as your story has given me more substance to how I feel and helps me in the belief that I'm not wrong in this. I hope you are able to get back the life and the man you love and maybe it will work out for both of us but I really don't feel it will for me now.

Wtf is wrong with all yall people. I smoke every day never have had anger issues. Also when it runs out or finances aint right to purchase i dont. Its not not this all consuming addictive drug. I think people just like to blame thier issues on something so it's not thier fault the weed makes them do it.
