This was on the front page of my fishwrap this morning. I don’t normally discuss the pros or cons of pot as a medicine. I think adults can come to their own conclusions on the subject with one simple test. What is evident is that those with no medical training or PTSD are at the forefront of a misguided movement saying there is no medical proof that it is beneficial. Some even go so far as to insinuate that it may actually be harmful and increase or magnify the effects of major mental disorders like PTSD.
Let’s perform the logic test. Feel free to utilize inductive or deductive thought processes for this exercise. Have you ever heard of anyone armoring up and going out to hunt humans after a few bong hits? It’s far more likely they’ll make a frontal assault on the refer after the reefer. I don’t much remember those years after I came home from two tours in SEA. Without getting too specific, perhaps I was ahead of the curve on this by 42 years. I don’t advocate for or against the use. I live in one of the two states where it is now legal and no social approbation will attach to my comments. The VA can go piss up a rope. I’m twenty years protected now.

I’m part of the group that thinks daily, long term use, is harmful.
Mental conditions like PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, BPD, ADHD, autism, addiction, depression, have high rates of gene mutations (variations) that cause low Folic Acid, Low Vitamin D and Vit B12 and high homocysteine.
Cannabis lowers Folic Acid and Vitamin D and increases homocysteine. So I don’t see how that can be of benefit. In PTSD the higher the homocysteine, the more severe the symptoms.
But whether you use cannabis or not, you can check the Vitamin D and homocysteine. Betaine lowers homocysteine.
Judging by the effect on our mutual acquaintance Brad, I’d agree it’s not the panacea it’s made out to be. With that said, I continue to subscribe to the belief that every individual has the constitutional right to remain stupid.
no harm eating choclate ice cream late at night.
While not a user since my 20’s I have a good friend with massive PTSD problems. I would be willing to go before anyone to testify about the drastic change for the good he receives from hemp
Three more years until my 20! Then can I make the rope comment?
what does that mean?
