hello user, the qualifications of medical marijuana are different in different states and countries - which you have not mentioned however some of the common conditions include - Qualifying conditions include:Cancer,Glaucoma,HIV/AIDS,Cachexia, intractable Pain,Seizures
severe Muscle spasms,Multiple Sclerosis, PTSD etc.
anyhow since you have issues of bipolar disorder along with anxiety symptoms , marijuana can worsen these conditions - so it would not be in your best interests to have it . Take care
