YES: Research shows that medical marijuana can help depression (http://www.Projectcbd.Org/conditions/depression-2/) and ptsd (http://www.Projectcbd.Org/conditions/ptsd-3/). Like all treatments, it will not help everyone and is likely to work best when combined with other treatments such as psychotherapy, emdr and emotional freedom technique (http://www.Eftuniverse.Com/).
