Hi supporters, 

The USA dept of Veterans Affairs understands the importance of the Endocannabinoid system when dealing with PTSD. The Australian Dept of Veterans Affairs needs to learn from our American counterparts into Endocannabinoid health.

"Research has consistently demonstrated that the human endocannabinoid system plays a significant role in PTSD. People with PTSD have greater availability of cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptors as compared to trauma-exposed or healthy controls (18,19). As a result, cannabis use by individuals with PTSD could produce short-term reductions of PTSD symptoms"

USA Veterans Affairs - PTSD and the Endocannabinoid system

Please keep sharing this petition to raise awareness of the health of Australian veterans who are dennied access to endocannabinoid therapies by DVA. These veterans are forced to take a dangerous cocktail of psychiatric medications which evidence and lived experience show are making their conditions worse and driving some to suicide.
