So my friend gave me a bunch of organic weed from our friends moms garden. Historically, smoking pot for me is a disaster- it makes me super manic and then I crash hard. I've also tried the whole CDB thing for anxiety with no real luck. 

This strain of pot (alien og) has been like a miracle for me. I smoke it when I'm feeling anxious/obsessive (slightly hypomanic at times) and when I am depressed.  I've been taking BP meds for close to 20 years and haven't experienced any medication giving a similar effect. It's almost like it shuts off a part of my mind thats constantly racing in the background. I can also still work and function. I feel the most calm in my life.

I've been taking like 1-2 small hits almost everyday for 2 months and still no problems. My thinking is it is leveling out my mood states to some degree. But it could be a ticking time bomb of disaster and wont tell my psychiatrist bc he will says bad idea.

Anyone else have a similar experience with weed? What strain? 

***Note I have literally spent decades perfecting my meds. Before the weed I was the most stable i have ever been on meds. I take Lamictal, Seroquel, Gabapentine, Wellbutrin and Vyvanse (damn thats depressing). I in no way encourage anyone to start smoking pot if you aren't first stable on your meds. Even then do it with caution. I am still on 100% of my meds in addition to the weed. I also have smoked pot on and off for years and have never had such an experience. Could be age who the fuck knows.
