| #4 The Israelis are such firm believers in using marijuana to treat PTSD, it is now a standard therapy for them. A reasonable theory is that the brain rewires itself to form destructive stress cycles that reinforce themselves, an action which has a lot of parallels in brain function, like obsessive/compulsive disorder, for one. Marijuana may "dampen" these cycles, disrupting a destructive routine long enough for natural correction to take place. |
