I'm 36, for years I did LSD and shrooms (starting at the age of 16). I used this stuff both to bring me down and up...mostly up. It's been scientifically proven that early psychedelic use can exacerbate BP/Manic Depression and bring it out of an individual. Though I should say, and with much warning, that marijuana was my wonderdrug. Until I actually got some help I used pot to come down, stay up and as a drinking companion and I loved it. BUT I had to clean up cuz the drinking was killing me, and so was the heroine and cocaine. Ya see, It had gotten to the point where I had succesfully/unsuccesfully "SELF_MEDICATED" for 20 friggin years and to know lasting avail. So I'm 7 rs off the heroine and coke and 9 months away from weed and booze and I sit here wishing that I had taken the advice of my parents when they said that there were good drugs out there right now for manic depresion cuz they were right. I wasted a lot of time.
