I recently read an article on CNN.com about medical marijuana for PTSD. One veteran has found smoking marijuana allows him to sleep without the nightmares, as well as helps with pain and spasms.
According to the article, medical marijuana is legal in 14 states, but most do not allow it to be prescribed for PTSD.
What do you think? Should marijuana be legal for medical use? Should PTSD be included in the list of medical conditions it can be prescribed for?
