Many individuals, with large numbers from the military veteran population, have significant issues with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The use of cannabis (marijuana) has sometimes been recommended to reduce symptoms.
This study was performed to determine the effectiveness of THC, CBD, and of THC plus CBD on the ability to disrupt the re-consolidation of a contextual fear memory.
Their findings suggest there is a therapeutic value to using either THC, CBD, or both THC with CBD to mitigate a dysfunctional memory in PTSD patients.
