Yep, check out this link:
http://www.ukcia.org/research/TheUseofCannabisasaMoodStabilizerinBipolarDisorder.phpI have been using cannabis regularly for four years. I find it helps me tame my angry and irritable moods, and also to pull me out of apathy and despair so that I can smile and feel grateful. It helps stop my mind from racing and generally helps me feel cheerful. I worry that in the long term it may be contributing to my anxiety (only because people say it makes users paranoid, not because of any personal experiences), but in the short term, it's often what gets me through the day, helps me stop crying, and lets me relax.
