Notes: baby's first political poem!!
I googled to see if there were more studies on weed for PTSD now, because I solved about four of my cognitive distortions the night before I wrote this thanks to weed and had a former psych once tell me (with a smile on her face) there was no evidence that weed helped with PTSD after I explained how I use weed to do trauma work. the top study I found very confidently proclaimed that weed doesn't help with PTSD and that all claims that it does are anecdotal... according to the testing they did on a group of combat veterans.
anyway, read Rat Park.
