Alright my readers. It turns out a veteran form the state of Nevada made it his goal to add Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to the list of conditions that the use medical marijuana apply to. This veterans name is Dr. David Udy. He suffered mental scars and physical scars from the Vietnam war and because of the use of Agent Orange in that war. Udy says " many veterans self-medicate with either alcohol or drugs. He says" medical treatments available can make things worse." “They give you a series of medications of pills essentially that just dilute your life to nonexistence.”
So basically he won and petitioned against the state and now PTSD is on the list of conditions that the use of medical marijuana is allowed. I honestly think this victory is great when i lived in the United Sates i had a friend that his grandpa was in the Vietnam war and he was a drunk .He lost his left ear in the Vietnam war and suffered from PTSD. If this spreads to other states it would be amazing because it would mean that veterans have a safer alternative other than sedatives to help with their PTSD.
