It has always been a debate as to whether marijuana is beneficial for an individual or not and if it is beneficial then up to what extent? Today after years of persistent hard work by veterans, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been officially declared to be one of the 9 conditions that qualify for Colorado’s Medical Marijuana Program.

It is one of the first conditions, which is going to be added to such a program since it was created. Experts have been working in this field for many years now and have finally achieved success in this research.

The recent addition of PTSD to the list from which we can get marijuana medically for use is because it has a number of benefits for one’s health.

The attempt to make it available for people in Colorado was made many times, but was always rejected because of lack of research on it. But now, the veterans have proved their points and researched on the particular topic. The government has also approved this for medical use as they have realized that now it is high time to pass the law as the conditions of the patients were not improving and no other alternate solution was useful to them.

Patients were in such a bad condition that it was nearly impossible for veterans till now to get them out of the trauma and they thought the only solution was marijuana, but the government rejected it earlier a number of times as they were not totally convinced about how it was going to benefit the patients and wanted a research on the subject. They don’t want to take any decision, which might affect the people of the country.

It is said to be the first state ever to legalize marijuana by making it available to people suffering from PTSD. People suffering from PTSD were not able to recover from their illness as till now no such solution was provided to them, which could surely improve their health, but now the government has also approved. Their chances of getting better have increased and again hopes have risen.

Keeping in mind the safety, all PTSD treatments are already well known. Doctors consider it much useful as an alternative for treating people suffering from PTSD. Till now, the treatments such as psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are known to have shown very limited results and were not satisfying as they had limited effects.

But after passing this law, a new hope has been given to the people due to which they can be healed quickly when compared to the older techniques.
