PTSD Pot Study Could Force Uncle Sam to Eat Crow

Yet, Sisley and her team have since been forced to contend with the government’s inability to produce the caliber of cannabis required for the study. So they have been impatiently waiting for the University of Mississippi to harvest a crop specific to their potency demands.

However, in a recent article from Psychiatry Advisor, Dr. Sisley suggested that her highly publicized research on PTSD and pot is set to get underway. The six-week study will consist of 76 veterans who will be given four different strains of marijuana in order to gauge how different THC to CBD ratios affect the symptoms of this common anxiety disorder.

"We chose to study veterans because of the prevalence of debilitating PTSD among this population," Dr. Marcel Bonn-Miller, a researcher on Sisley's team, told Main Street. "That said, we believe the findings from this work will generalize to individuals with PTSD more broadly."

Although the results of this study will not force the United States government to reconsider their position on marijuana, it could provide added scientific evidence of the herb’s health benefits by lending support to what other researchers have already discovered.
