Frequently asked questions

While it is believed that some cannabis strains may help with bipolar disorder, much more scientific research is needed. A recent study sheds a conflicting light on this topic as cannabis was associated with increased manic and depressive symptoms. The relationship between bipolar depression and cannabis is still up for debate.

Consumers report that popular strains like Harlequin, Cannatonic, and Cinex may be helpful for treating symptoms related to bipolar disorder, including depression and anxiety. If you're thinking about using weed for bipolar disorder, make sure you consult your primary care provider first.

Consumers find weed strains with a balanced mix of CBD and THC, such as Cannatonic and Harlequin, can be helpful for symptoms of bipolar disorder. The primary reason CBD is believed to be potentially good for bipolar is because the balancing effects are associated with reduced symptoms such as depression and mania, although more research is needed on this topic.

Depending on which state you live in, you can get a medical marijuana card for bipolar disorder. In states where medical marijuana is legal, you must see whether or not bipolar disorder is a qualifying condition for medical marijuana. If so, you must then begin the application process with your state's medical marijuana program.
Despite scientific research, it is unclear whether sativa or indica is better for bipolar. Instead, it's better to look for strains that have a combination of CBD and THC, which are believed to provide balancing effects that may help BD patients.
