Cannabis-related PTSD

Cannabis-related PTSD refers to post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms that may arise from cannabis use, particularly in individuals with existing trauma histories. While cannabis is sometimes used to alleviate stress or anxiety, it can also lead to an unsettling experience for some users, triggering or worsening PTSD symptoms. This may include feelings of paranoia, heightened anxiety, or flashbacks. It’s important for individuals with a history of trauma to approach cannabis use cautiously and consult with a healthcare professional to understand its potential effects on their mental health.
