The big difference between the classic PTS and the chemical PTS coming from the mefloquine is that with PTSD classic, through treatment, help, and medication, or whatever you want to call it, you can reach a certain normalcy, if I can use that word—you can have somewhat normal living—whereas, a guy like me can reach only so far because the brain has been damaged and there's no room for more improvement. I can reach only so far. My functioning and whatnot and my short-term memory are destroyed, not to the point that I can't function, but if you ask me tomorrow what we talked about today, I probably won't remember. Using cannabis stabilizes my moods, because I'm really high on the aggressivity scale. It allows me to interact with my kids and be more patient.
I have a seven-year-old and an almost 10-year-old who have been going through hell since they've been born. I was diagnosed after their birth. Even for my wife.... For the surges of whatever or aggression of any kind, the pills didn't do anything.
