DENVER- Medical professionals and interested parties have announced the start of Stage 1 of a new and highly ambitious study involving Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and cannabis use designed to answer a singe question: “Do Veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress benefit from the Use of Medical Marijuana ?”
Funding for the project includes a pledged donation of $240,000 from Croan’s company Enigami Systems. The group is still looking for money to pay for a June 7th-10th research planning meeting in Denver, establishment of an Internet website with resources and to offset the costs of establishing the 501(c)(3) federal non-profit organization.
Stage 2 of the project is the data collection phase, involving Veterans who have PTSD as their “primary or secondary diagnosis.” Participants will receive free monitoring of their symptoms and medication for approx. 2-3 years. Stage 3 involves analyzing the data to determine “(t)he relationship between diagnostic symptoms and medical marijuana cannabinoids” and the publication of results in a Tier 1 medical journal.
