📋 Overview: PTSD
PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) is an anxiety disorder that develops in some people who experience a traumatic event. Symptoms include nightmares, sleeplessness, flashbacks, emotional numbness, irritability, and anxiety.
🌿 How CBD & Cannabis Can Help
In 2013, George Greer published a study in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs that concluded cannabis is associated with the reduction of PTSD symptoms in some patients. Arizona psychiatrist Sue Sisley has found that her patients have success with using cannabis to ease the symptoms of PTSD.
💊 Recommended Treatment
Cannabis should be consumed before bedtime to lessen the probability of nightmares. Eating an edible before bedtime allows for slow absorption throughout the night. Cannabis can also be consumed daily to help ease anxiety, flashbacks, and irritability.
