(6,323 posts)smoked weed for the first time in my early teens (13+). I suffer from PTSD from long term abuse starting around 3 to 4 for me. Trust me I remember the 1st punch in the face from my new stepfather and it didn't end till I moved out of the house around 19. The physical abuse stopped at 16 because I nearly fucking beat him to death. I managed to get myself off of him before I threw the 1st punch, then the mouth went into high gear. I was very bad however between Junior High and High School mentally. I was circling the drain mentally because of all the backwoods, upside down is right side up talk from my step father and my mother.
After my first smoke of home grown, years of abuse all of a sudden felt lighter and even went away for long periods.
If I knew what I know now and told someone back then that I smoked weed for my PTSD, it for sure would have been woo.
Today the army is testing it's efficacy on soldiers with PTSD.
Fuck anyone else who thinks they know better than me and what is "good" for me. Walk a day in my shoes. Woo?.....this shit needs to end. So fucking what, there are some people who think different, get over it. We've got bigger issues to deal with than watching "Dancing with the stars" or "where do we draw the line on what is and is not woo".
It's a distraction.
