Treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder!

Could cannabis be the answer to treating PTSD?

While the federal ban on medical cannabis is still outlawed, there is one area that is disproportionately affected: the diagnosis and treatment of PTSD. The US Department of Veterans Affairs currently dismisses "marijuana" as a "safe and effective" treatment for PTSD, but a new Israeli clinical trial, Tikun Olam, one of the first and largest of its kind, has proven otherwise.

Tikun Olam - Israel's largest supplier of medical cannabis whose famous and innovative strains have recently appeared in the United States - has just analyzed the results of his scientific study of hundreds of PTSD patients in Israel. The results show that the VA has revised its rationale for continuing to deny a critical drug.

This is just a summary of key findings from Tikun's original data (all patients were treated with TikunTM strains via the delivery method of their choice) to challenge the position of the VA and the federal government:

Before starting cannabis treatment, the vast majority of respondents reported severe PTSD symptoms, including "daily rage", "daily disgusting memories", and "recurring pain"; all respondents were medically diagnosed with PTSD; 79% had PTSD as their primary indicator of cannabis treatment; 70% were taking other prescription drugs daily; and over 73% reported a "poor" or "very poor" quality of life (only 2% reported a "very good" quality of life, just slightly more, 7.2% reporting "good")

After one month of cannabis treatment, over 84% reported an unconditional improvement.

After six months of cannabis treatment, more than half (53.6%) reported a decrease in their other daily medications, and 88% reported no negative side effects.

And, most importantly, proportionate responses aimed at improving the quality of life have completely changed - now more than 80% of respondents now report a "very good" or "good" quality of life, and only 1.2% report "very bad".
