Sounds like they have the right idea. The Israeli army could use a good mellowing out.

Instead of "Hey lets roll our tanks over some Palestinian homes", "Let's roll our tanks over the closest 7-11, I got the munchies."

Thats all the poor soldiers need some kind of dependency on THC ,i would hate to see the long term effects on them.

yeah its much better they have a dependency on boose to cope with their stress

this is definitely the new israeli plan to have a higher immigration quota. i just know it. theyll get tons of people who will consequently become traumatized.

It's stressing me out just thinking about going over there and signing up! What do I get?!

Perhaps i'll join.

Personally i think that they could have found something "better" than THC, not that i have a problem with THC. But couldn't they have used something more simple and less controversial? Like Valerian or Kava. Also, are they using Cannabis or would they be using synthetic THC (marinol)?

as far as i can see fromt he article, its good ol reglr THC. but what difference wud synthetic THC have, less legality issues? easier to obtain?

my worry is that yeah, THC will calm u down after PTSS/PTSD but then what? we all know it acts as a gateway drug, and the last thing anyone needs are weirded out soldiers lookin for a fix.

at least theyd be avoiding the carcinogenic affects involved in smoking it.

There's nothing wrong with using THC, but I doubt it will completely relieve soldiers of combat stress.

Real treatment would involve removing all combat related activities. Not in this lifetime!

Its understandable, I use THC to combat everyday stress. (jk)

THC is a huge stress reliver, Plus anything can be done under the control of THC, that can be done if not. You have to practice at it when you are "HIGH".

I think this is a great idea, marijuana SHOULD be used to calm the masses, it works and is on this planet for a reason.

This is not a joke to me, although quite funny and TRUELY how I feel . . .

Send a HUGE truck load to both the Israelies and Palestinians and you may get this reaction . . . "Gentelmen . . . we are prepared to share this land with you in peace, for the rest of your twinkies."

This really isnt anything new. our government used to use it on our soliders during world war 2.
