Marijuana as a Treatment for PTSD:
The belief that marijuana can be used to treat PTSD is limited to anecdotal reports from individuals with PTSD who say that the drug helps with their symptoms. There have been no randomized controlled trials, a necessary "gold standard" for determining efficacy. Administration of oral CBD has been shown to decrease anxiety in those with and without clinical anxiety (18). This work has led to the development and testing of CBD treatments for individuals with social anxiety (19), but not yet among individuals with PTSD. With respect to THC, one open trial of 10 participants with PTSD showed THC was safe and well tolerated and resulted in decreases in hyperarousal symptoms (20).
Psychiatric problems include psychosis and impairment in cognitive ability. Quality of life can also be affected through poor life satisfaction, decreased educational attainment, and increased sexual risk-taking behavior (7). Chronic marijuana use also can lead to addiction, with an established and clinically significant withdrawal syndrome (8).

I like weed but it can make me paranoid and antisocial. My opinion is just as good as the next individual. Except, the science agrees with me.

I can make any mags skin crawl in one of my sessions. Just lots of big globs.
Shit. I can smoke a bunch and then head out to Home Depot. Walk in, and whisper... Holy Fuck I am stoned....I don't really get paranoid, but It'll catch me by surprise sometimes.
Doesn't hit you till you are outside your "comfort area", for lack of better terminology.
