Article from IFLscience.com on Marijuana and Bipolar Disorder

It is a short article, but outlines the findings of a study where Bipolar patients, who also use marijuana, write daily diaries about their marijuana use and mood states. Interestingly, they found that marijuana use INCREASED the occurrence of depressed and manic states! While the patients were using because they thought marijuana helped them, some realized that it didn’t and cut back their use after reading their own diaries!

Should this alter our feelings about medicinal marijuana?
