bipolar types
My College teacher told the class that she is bipolar and the different types of medications she is on.?
Not only that, she preceded to tell me that she is a pothead for life. I have lost all credibility with her and am not sure she has any business grading my projects. Any ideas?
This is not the answer you desire, but it is honest ...
Why is your "college teacher's" credibility being questioned by a student. Many professors in the 1960s through the current day have used drugs, illegal or prescription, or other items such as cigarettes or alcohol as do many of their students. Your "college teacher's" history of "bipolar" is a matter of record with the college. More than likely also is her use of "pot".
Please understand I do not believe her behavior was in the best interest of her students, but then if she is teaching psychology or a related field I can relate. Many individuals with "bipolar" tendencies use prescription, psychotropic, medications to control their episodes and some use pot because it lessons the effects of the the psychotropic medications as "Drowsiness, Dizziness when changing positions, Blurred vision, Rapid heartbeat. Sensitivity to the sun, Skin rashes, Menstrual problems for women, Rigidity, Persistent muscle spasms, Tremors, Restlessness, etc."
Using the rationale stated in your question then any cancer, glaucoma, or individual with a psychological defect who uses something like marijuana to lessen the effects of his/her medication or tells one about his/her disease is subject to loss of respect.
If you are unhappy with the individual then change classes, which is your prerogative, but please do not judge why someone is using a medication which you deem inappropriate on which to base your answer. If you do so then you need to also judge the use of tobacco products and alcohol accordingly since they cause many more deaths and Impact society more than marijuana, especially when used medicinally.
