And that's why the US government has a patent for medical use of cannabis called "Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants" search Google for 6630507 it was registered by "The United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services" Don't believe the government on this. Cannabis can kill cancer, which is proven by many lab tests and help PTSD. Drug companies don't want you to get it. That's why they pay big money to anti-drug campaigns.

I served in Iraq. My truck was blown up twice, i took bullet shrapnel in my face, i lost friends, and i took lives. The most debilitating issue i face is PTSD. Cannabis does wonders for those PTSD moments. i go sit on my couch, pack a pipe, turn on some relaxing music and i calm down IMMEDIATELY. There is no pill the VA can give me that works that quickly. Marijuana has saved my life and that is not an over statement. I served my country honorable, i just wish they wouldnt consider me a crimnal

@dipinprint I have PTSD from milder events like violence in the family.. And man weed helps so much.. Much rather smoke some weed and take a walk than go into a full blown anxiety attack with flashbacks..

[dipinprint]

I have ptsd from being kicked out of my family and dissowned when i was 16. i was liveing in a hood that had drivebyes every day, iv seen alot of people die and had people die in my arms. right now iv been haveing alot of nightmares and flash backs. the only time that im calm and not haveing flashbacks or nightmares is when im stond from pot. it helps me forget about the past and think about the now.
