A lot of veterans out there playing that card for benefits too. I know a guy who wasn’t even in the same building as the Fort Hood shooter but claims PTSD from the incident. What a weak minded fool. I’m sure there are some who are truly suffering but it is a much smaller number than those claiming it.I agree with that sentiment. There are plenty of military veterans suffering from various types of mental illness; depression, anxiety, PTSD, ect. A few clicks and a few reads from different studies shows the medical benefits of medical MJ towards those suffering. It's difficult to turn a blind eye on those facts.
Also, it's easy to see what recreational substances are more harmful. I enjoy beer/alcohol, but it definitely has a lot of medical downfalls. MJ, obviously not the best for you, has a lot less cons.
