PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that affects millions of people every year. PTSD symptoms include nightmares, severe anxiety, uncontrollable thoughts, and flashbacks. There are lots of effective treatments for ptsd. One of those effective treatments is using medical marijuana products. I started using medical marijuana products a couple of years ago after my doctor recommended I go to a treatment center. I was suffering badly and I was starting to lose hope. The PTSD symptoms were really bad and they were keeping me from living a happy and healthy life. I was having nightmares that kept me from sleeping at night. I wasn’t getting a full 8 hours. I wasn’t performing well during the day at work and my job performance was slipping. There were several areas in my life that I wanted to fix, so I went to the doctor and they recommended medical marijuana. Medical marijuana has been legal in some states for the past 20 years. Now 2/3 of the country recognizes the use of medical marijuana for problems like Alzheimer’s disease, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, seizures, severe and chronic pain, and ptsd. After going to the treatment center, I was certified to begin receiving medical marijuana. The only problem is the fact that it is very expensive and my insurance does not cover the treatment at all. My insurance carrier would happily pay for thousands of dollars of pills each month, but they will not cover $200 worth of medical marijuana products that actually work and help my mental health.
