Slowly but surely, the United States is coming around to seeing weed as medicine, not a drug. As our David Pemberton wrote, “If I’m honest, I used marijuana as a drug because it was always presented as a drug. [Since] signing up for my med card, I’ve found that it can be a positive part of my daily life.”
Legalized pot brings in millions of dollars of revenue; sends students to college; stops bullying; assists the homeless; and creates jobs. It can also, as anyone who’s watched You’re the Worst this season knows, help United States veterans who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
Cut Video — the same team behind “Grandmas Smoking Pot for The First Time” — brought together three vets to learn how marijuana can treat their PTSD, which one of them calls a “f*cking thorn in my side.” After taking a rip from a bong, they describe their mood as being “happy” and “relaxed.” Later, after munching on pizza and playing Never Have I Ever, the vets admit that marijuana could help them with their PTSD. “I feel safe, which is great.”
