Kentucky recently passed legislation allowing medical marijuana use, including for patients suffering from PTSD. This marks a significant shift in the state’s approach to cannabis-based treatment. PTSD, a condition affecting veterans, first responders, and others who have experienced trauma, has been shown to respond positively to medical marijuana, helping with symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and flashbacks.
The law outlines strict regulations, including qualifying conditions, medical certifications, and dispensary guidelines. Advocates argue that medical marijuana provides a safer alternative to opioids and other pharmaceuticals, while opponents express concerns over regulation and potential misuse.
