For those who do not know it, the humans and all animals so far tested produce two marijuana like substances, Anandamide and 2- Arachidonal glycerol (2AG), which produce exactly the same medical functions as marijuana.

Secondly marijuana/cannabis has been used in human medicine for about 4,000 years and have never killed anybody, which cannot be said for almost any other medicine.
Thirdly, between 1850 and 1900 cannabis medicine was the most prescribed and most used medicine for about 100 different diseases in the U.S.
Fourthly, in 1988 after hearing 15 days of testimony, pro and con, DEA Administrative Judge Francis L. Young made the following ruling, “Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. Marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume.” Three DEA Administrators, all non-physicians, refused to comply and have deprived millions of desperately ill patients’ effective relief.
Cannabis has been used by the Israeli Government on soldiers suffering from PTSD based on animal studies showing how THC can affect memories & modulate emotion.
PTSD was the number one mental health diagnosis for CA Cannabis prescriptions for 2007. It is suggested that cannabis should be the first medication to use for PSTD. Patients experienced relief from:
1) Physical Pain, both from injuries & PTSD itself
2) Modulated Emotion, allowing patients to PROCESS their trauma vs. suppressing them & reduces anger/rage episodes
3) Modulated Memory, allowing patient to block obsessive thinking, over analyzing
4) Relaxes the nervous, skeletal, smooth muscle & several other major systems
5) Reduces Alcoholism & Opiate Addiction, replaces harmful medications with a medication for PTSD.
I naturally, but unknowingly, was attracted to Cannabis at times in my life when my PTSD was debilitating. Once I learn how and why cannabis works for PTSD, my recovery increased 10 fold.
