Hyper-vigilance, anxiety,night terrors, flash backs, sweats, rapid heart beat, panic attacks... U want to add pot? Thats a recipe for chaos and destruction. I have ptsd. I used to smoke pot, I used to think pot had no links to flip outs/agression, well it does. I found out personally just recently that it does. Brain chemistry is very complex, some people will never have a problem on pot, some will go nuts. And I think for ptsd pot is just fuel for the fire.
