Hi Jackie,

I'm afraid I would treat the advice of a homeopath with a great deal of skepticism. Medical science is still at a bit of a loss as to the actual cause of bipolar so quite why the adrenal glands should be suggested is beyond me. There is certainly a connection with the neurotransmitter system but this isn't necessarily the cause of bipolar disorder. There may in fact be more than a single cause and there also appears to be genetic vulnerability in some cases. Have a look at this Bipolar Disorder Overview article. It will help explain some of the background, risk factors, etc, related to bipolar disorder.

As to marijuana, the advice is to steer well clear. There is clear evidence of an association between this acting as a trigger to mental illness. Any psychoactive drug is bound to influence the biochemistry of the brain and will, by design, affect mood.
