Ex SOLDIER WITH PTSD AND ANXIETY ISSUES.

Recent studies have shown medical marijuana to help.  Not sure if you're in a mmj friendly area, but I've read lots of articles about military and civilian sufferers that it has benefitted.

I heard the VA is looking into medical marijuana as a treatment. Not sure how true that is though.

They have phased out some proposed studies and in mmj friendly states a VA dr cannot punish you for a mmj positive urine screen, but federal law still prohibits a VA dr, even in a mmj friendly state from writing an rx for it or telling the veteran where to purchase it.

Hmm I didn't know that. So are they no longer considering using marijuana to treat veterans with PTSD, Seizures, Pain etc? It would replace a lot of pills in my cabinet!

 
Apologies in advance here for any ignorance by myself, but I an genuinely surprised at the legality of MJ in certain states of the US. Is there a pattern in the states where it's legal to dispense,  like more liberal, forward thinking, research communities etc? In the UK it was downgraded in classification a few years ago, and you'll rarely be prosecuted if even a fair amount is found on your person. I've heard of its active ingredient, the THC, being scripted in a few forward thinking places, but nothing to smoke if you get what I mean. It's never been my thing either, tried it once, and not for me!

It's not my thing either but I'd have to agree it does seem to be legal in places that are more liberal. However that is just my thinking off the top of my head I'd have to do some research a little later to know for sure but that is my first thought @PTFC

Yes, states where legal are typically blue/democratic states.  Nevada, though, just began legalization for personal use last weekend.  They have already earned millions in revenue.

 
You can get strains or cbd oil with little to just traces of thc.  Oils like these have helped kids especially with epilepsy.  A girl was having over 300 seuzures a week and went to 0-1 in only a couple of weeks.  The oil is named after her, charlotte, and is produced by 2 brothers in colorado, a legal state.

Go to norml website, spelling is correct, there are hundreds of scientific studies.  Because these legalizations are state laws, not federal,  often the VA has its hands tied because as we know, they are a federal agency :(

  11. D @ drdrizzy13: The transfer portal has turned big conferences especially the SEC more like trading players. And they need to fix the NIL deals. Not really fair for one player to get 7 mil and his teammate getting 1k. It's corrupted college football..
  12. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Lets go boyyyyyy!
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Happy Football Sunday! Leggo Ravens baby.
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Bulldogs take the cake - Kiffin deserves to play in a place called Death Valley - Man how I used to love Saturdays in the fall. But College Football is dead. My prediction? Transfer portal and NIL with million dollar “salaries” mean NCAA Football becomes the defacto NFL D league except they’re all free agents. To compete, Superconfrences are going to continue to consolidate, privatize or go corporate, and the NCAA can go back to worrying about title IXX and Women’s volleyball and such.
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: I think they'll probably win it all.
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Georgia way too dominate
  17. M @ meepmoopmeep: i think most of us expected it but not how badly it went down
  18. M @ meepmoopmeep: Alabama got SPANKED
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Down goes Alabama WOW hahah goodbye playoffs who gets in now instead vandy? I gotta look at rankings now
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: SEC championship game next. This game is kind of boring.
