PANEL: Marijuana for PTSD w/ Philippe Lucas, Suzanne Sisley & Zach Walsh

Cannabis therapy is evaluated for its potential in treating PTSD and as a tool for substance substitution. Preliminary clinical and observational research indicate that cannabis can significantly reduce key PTSD-related symptom clusters, including re-experiencing, avoidance, and hyper-arousal. Additionally, patients report that cannabis use helps them reduce or eliminate the consumption of more harmful substances like opioids, alcohol, and tobacco. These findings support ongoing investigations into medical cannabis as a viable, safe, and effective treatment option for veterans and others suffering from trauma-related conditions.
