Could a marijuana-based medicine potentially prevent the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? If the findings of a new study in rodents hold up, they may offer a new avenue for treatment of an illness that affects at least 7% of Americans during their lifetimes.
For the study, published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, researchers exposed rats to severe, Navy Seal-level stress, including restraint, forced swims and anesthetization. Luckier control rats just stayed in their cages and were handled twice by researchers.
Interesting. I hope you follow up on this when it's available. I would be curious to know their findings.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding a doctor to recommend it in Delaware where it is "already legal". That doesn't mean squat if the doctors aren't willing to do the "recommend."
