Their brains are not like our brains. Bipolar brains don&#8217;t respond<br \/>\nwell to the new, incredibly strong, hydrophonically grown and<br \/>\ngenetically modified pot. So, if you have bipolar disorder, you need to<br \/>\nthink about your pot use differently. It&#8217;s a choice. Now, the bigger<br \/>\nissue is synthetic pot- also called Spice. Here is a short news story on<br \/>\nthe topic. It highlights the dangers of using synthetics when the real<br \/>\nstuff is illegal.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also included a link to a superb TIME<br \/>\nMagazine story on synthetic pot.\u00a0 I smoked a lot of pot in the 80s and I<br \/>\nhave bipolar disorder.\u00a0 So this isn&#8217;t some soap box. I would not TOUCH<br \/>\nthe stuff that&#8217;s out there now. I respect my bipolar brain too much to<br \/>\nsubject it to possible drug induced psychosis! I don&#8217;t want to offer a<br \/>\njudgment&#8230; just information.\u00a0 Tell me what you think after you watch<br \/>\nthe video! I&#8217;m interested!
