Has anyone ever had a mania inducing reaction to medicinal marijuana? 

I tried it one time and had the most extreme manic episode I’ve ever had in my life (I’m bipolar 1).

I blacked out and envisioned three aliens trying to explain to me that our actions are just responses from previous influences. Meaning we don’t have free will.

For years after, I was constantly overthinking and stressing about determinism. I even wrecked my car once because I couldn’t focus on anything else. I now use my determinism thoughts as an indicator that I’m slipping into hypomania.

I’ll never try medicinal marijuana again for as long as I live. I’m lucky I wasn’t harmed while blacking out and running around outside.

Coincidentally, the friend who inspired me to try the drug, I had helped diagnose with bipolar. I’m not sure what type he was, but he didn’t react the way I did.

Has anyone else experienced something like that?
