MARIJUANA INDICATED IN TREATMENT OF PTSD
Medical marijuana has been positively indicated in the treatment of
PTSD. Israel has had a lot of good results treating their soldiers
suffering with this problem using marijuana. It is very good at
treating the symptoms, but offers none of the side effects of
pharmaceuticals. In Canada, soldiers can not only get a licence from
Health Canada, they can get Veteran's Affairs to pay for the pot.
Unfortunately, not everyone has shoulders broad enough to bear both
the stigma of being a pot user and of mental illness.
