Thank you for serving our country. Although I did not, my brother did, and many other family members.

Just wanted to add to the thread about MMJ and PTSD. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 02. I did not serve in the military, so it was not related to that.

I still got diagnosed with it. Whatever I went through was bad enough I guess. My question how common is it for some one to use MMJ to treat PTSD?

Are there any studies done to look at how it helps the brain?

I have a stupid drug test comming up at work in a non-mmj friendly state. So I stopped smoking last week. Sure enough my dreams come back. Last night I had one of the most vivid nightmares I had in a long time. I think this is becasue I stopped smoking. I really thought it was real the whole time to the end, and feel as if I got constant adrenaline goin through me all day. Still.

If I move to california, will they give me a card for being diagnosed with PTSD?

How many people here are diagnosis of PTSD that think mmj helps?

I think MMJ helps for a few reasons. Biologic roots to PTSD are in the amygdyla and hippocampus. That is also where are CB1 and CB2 receptors are. I firmly believe that MMJ is one of the best relievers of symtoms of PTSD. The condition has ruined my life. I have lost jobs because of it. I have a short fuse. Sometimes no fuse at all. I also believe it has prevented promotions and better job ops.

Any info would help. Thanks.
