Trauma has far reaching effects on most people.
And it’s not just on an emotional level either.
While the emotional results are easily noticeable, at least for me, there are several physically related setbacks with PTSD. And I should know, I’ve been dealing with or managing my PTSD for a long time now. However, I have recently added THCV to the mix as far as treatment options go. This has made a pretty major difference. I was first introduced to the method of using marijuana to manage PTSD symptoms. This was something that had been successful for a number of people in my support group. So I provided it a try myself. There was a near immediate positive effect when I used medical marijuana. But the psychoactive component wasn’t the best feeling for me. I loved the calm I was able to get however the high made it fairly difficult for me to function in my daily life. That’s what’s so wonderful about this minor cannabinoid. THCV gives me the calming effect of weed separate from having so much of the challenge of the psychoactive qualities of pot. And this has been a pretty serious game changer for me. Adding CBN to the THCV therapy has also been seriously beneficial. The CBN has a calming effect that I can totally feel. It’s somewhat like a mild valium separate from the fuzziness of the medication. I add the CBN at times where the PTSD symptoms are a bit tougher to manage. This helps the THCV to help me to calm myself plus to find a grounded perspective.
