I like it b/c I feel like it leaves my personality intact--something I cant say for antipsychotics, higher-dose stimulants, or even antidepressants. Also, it helps w/ sleep and it doesn't exactly slow my thoughts down (which does happen with mood-stabilizers and antipsychotics), but it does kind of reduce the intensity of obsessive, ruminating thoughts and seems to overall lift/balance my mood. In the past, when I had friends who said they smoked pot for mood swings or whatever, I'd always say "well, maybe you should try X"--not so much to play shrink as to get them off something illegal, with potential problems, and onto something legal and not problematic. But now..I've been on SO MANY THINGS, I just feel like hey, this works, its tolerable--I don't see any reason NOT to pursue it.
