Many veterans who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have found relief from their symptoms in the form of cannabis. Although this treatment shows a lot of promise in dealing with a very complex and debilitating disorder, it would appear that the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Medical Center is not interested in sharing information about the subject with the people who could be helped most by it.
A Phoenix doctor who is carrying out a study into the effects of marijuana on veterans with PTSD was hoping to present her findings to medical staff at the Phoenix VA Medical Center, but the hospital refuses to allow her to speak. This is in spite of the fact that her study has gained approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Dr. Sue Sisley is the lead investigator for the Phoenix Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. Her groundbreaking clinical trial is being funded by the Colorado Department of Health, and will entail a placebo-controlled randomized study of 76 vets who have PTSD. The study will start this summer, and is expected to last for at least two years.
VA’s refusal ‘really shameful’
