#3 Thanks. Maybe if you just made "Short Attention Span Theater"/Opinion my default settings it would be less disruptive. :-)

#4 The Israelis are such firm believers in using marijuana to treat PTSD, it is now a standard therapy for them.

A reasonable theory is that the brain rewires itself to form destructive stress cycles that reinforce themselves, an action which has a lot of parallels in brain function, like obsessive/compulsive disorder, for one.

Marijuana may "dampen" these cycles, disrupting a destructive routine long enough for natural correction to take place.

#5 Of course "dampening" a normal brain has other considerations...
