FDA approved cannabis medicines needed for veterans to relieve symptoms of PTSD

Published on February 17, 2010 at 8:04 AM · 1 Comment

Cannabis Science Inc. (NASD OTCBB: CBIS), an emerging pharmaceutical cannabis company, is reviewing interim results of its survey from over 1400 people, US military veterans and others who responded to our PTSD survey. The survey is still available for a limited time online on the www.cannabisscience.com website for all those who still wish to participate.

The survey was designed and conducted by Mitch Earleywine, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York (Albany). Dr Earleywine is also a member of the Cannabis Science Inc. Scientific Advisory Board. The survey results will be made public as soon as the study has been completed.

Dr. Robert Melamede, Cannabis Science President and CEO, observed, "It is clear that many veterans are already using herbal cannabis to self-medicate to relieve the symptoms of PTSD. Consequently, there is a clear need for standardized, FDA approved, oral cannabis products which can, and should be, provided to veterans and others who can benefit from its use. Medical cannabis has far fewer and milder side effects than most currently prescribed pharmaceutical products do. We are working hard to have one or more products ready for FDA clinical trials as soon as possible."

    This is great news for vets and others alike with PTSD. Over the next decade cannabis will prove to be a valuable untapped resource in the field of medicine.
