Hi,
I found that smoking pot made me more depressed- while on lithium. Supposedly people with depression are cautioned against smoking pot because it can cause depression. Substances in general can cause different reactions (eg. substance induced mood disorders). I was diagnosed bipolar at 17 but it is possible it was substance induced because I was using marijuana and drinking at the same time. The doctors still aren't sure but I think that is what it was.
