Have you been struggling with PTSD? PTSD is caused by a breakdown in extinction learning, which is the natural decrease of a conditioned response over time. A person with PTSD will continue to respond to a stimulus such, as a loud noise, even if it has not been reinforced for months or years. Conversely, those without PTSD will stop responding over time. PTSD is a long-term condition and can affect anyone who has experienced trauma.

A growing number of people are turning to cannabinoids to relieve PTSD symptoms and individuals suffering from the effects of PTSD have found significant relief with CBD. With its non-addictive and non-psychoactive properties, CBD offers an alternative to the mainstream pharmacological treatment with, often ineffective, anticonvulsants or atypical antipsychotics.

Through its effects on the endocannabinoid system, CBD has been shown to both help remove bad memories, as well as block them. Moreover, research on the therapeutic properties of CBD is abundant and involve anticonvulsant, antioxidant, antipsychotic, analgesic, and neuroprotective effects. CBD has also been shown to effectively address the symptoms of PTSD, including anxiety, nightmares, and insomnia.
