New York State puts PTSD on its medical marijuana use list.
This is very good news for veterans and others who have been diagnosed with PTSD. Not so good news is it is too expensive for many veterans and it can not be grown or smoked. One step forward and two steps back. Vets like to smoke marijuana. It helps with appetite, sleeping, and maintaining relationships. Marijuana is much better than the drugs they prescribe for PTSD. I will look into it further and post again when I find out more.. It's a start!
