Unfortunatly I don't have a lot of data on this, mostly its anecdotal from military social workers here in Canada who say they have looked into this problem (PTSD is a huge problem with our military, I can only conclude that it must be an even larger problem with the US military because you guys do more deployments, although I think we may do more deployments per soldier due to smaller force numbers, once again no real data).

From my perspective it makes sense that MJ smoking can lessen the effects of PTSD, but like I said I really don't have any hard evidence to support the claim, just anecdotal. Of course that doesn't mean its not out there.

A quick search via google really only offered anecdotal evidence as well, I will attempt to try getting some sources for you from a friend if you're interested.

Thanc for the reply. I'm already convinced that MJ works, & I'm speaking as one who knows personally. Now only if the government would accept the fact that it works & make it legal again!

BYW, things are (slowly but surely) lookin' pretty good as far as softening up on the personal use of marijuana in Canada & europe, aren't they???????
