PTSD and Cannabis

Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a disorder in which an individual has witnessed a traumatic or terrifying event and has difficulty recovering from it. PTSD is a horrible condition. Many people have reoccurring nightmares and flashbacks of these events. A recent study has found that cannabis can help.

When studies with lab rats were used to examine the results of a low dosage application of CBD after a traumatic shock, they found that CBD was able to impair the harmful memory associated with the PTSD attack. This is promising news. With technology and studies getting better every day, it begs the question: what other possible benefits could CBD bring us?
