Cannabis — Nature's Solution for Treating PTSD
Cannabis —  Nature's Solution for Treating PTSD
On Wednesday, September 14th, New Jersey governor Christ Christie signed a measure into law Wednesday allowing the use of marijuana to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) if conventional therapies prove ineffective. New Jersey is now the 18th state to allow medical marijuana to be used to treat PTSD.

For many years, mental health professionals didn’t acknowledge the existence of PTSD. Today, it’s estimated that 7.8 percent of all adult Americans suffer from PTSD within their lifetimes. While many associate PTSD with primarily with war veterans, the fact is that in addition to combat exposure, victims of rape, childhood abuse and neglect or domestic violence are also at high risk for this painful and debilitating condition.
