That's true Mark.Alcohol unfortunately is the "drug" of choice for most Veterans suffering from PTSD.Alcohol will usually lead to violent behavior,where as Marijuana leads to a more peaceful mental condition.This is why I hope that PTSD will be added to the list of ailments for the medical use of pot.Things are such now,that if a Veteran goes to the VA for help with his/her PTSD,you are expected to begin on some type anti-depressant,or anti-psycotic medication.I have seen the damage this has done to some of my friends.It's not pretty,makes me sad.......

Keith - thank you for your openness and integrity.

My major knowledge of PTSD is second hand, and comes from making a film with British veterans of the Falklands War.

I believe the vast majority of those with whom I had contact would endorse your views in this thread. Alcohol has led many brave men to prison or a life reduced to survival on the streets.
