Not that I don't want you to have a good time, but you must know the risk of cannabis, especially in bipolar disorder:
JOHNS, ANDREW. Psychiatric effects of cannabis+. British Journal of Psychiatry. 178:116-122, February 2001.
"...An appreciable proportion of cannabis users report adverse effects, including psychotic states following heavy consumption, and regular users are at risk of dependence. People with major mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder are especially vulnerable in that cannabis generally provokes relapse and aggravates existing symptoms..."Also: http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Psychosis-from-long-term-m.html
