Can Weed Help Trauma from Gang Violence & Police Brutality?

Getting robbed, shot at, jumped in and outside of jail, fighting back to back bc your from 2 separate streets or areas, etc etc definitely creates ptsd

[@chrisarnold9732]

The downside of using weed as medicine for trauma is that PTSD already causes dissociation. If you're dissociated AND high, then you're just a zombie. Being a zombie is preferable to being in a hypervigilant fear state, but only slightly. Weed is helpful for trauma when taken in moderation and when you're in the right frame of mind. It's great at the end of a long, stressful day when you're finally able to relax. ....but I speak from A LOT of experience when I say that staying stoned all the time is a great way to ensure that you never actually learn how to process your trauma and learn how to work around it. Microdosing mushrooms is FAR more helpful for PTSD. Instead of dissociating, you actually feel more sober and clear-headed than normal. Ketamine and/or MDMA treatments and the Stellate Ganglion nerve block procedure can also be lifesavers.

[@DigitalSubset]

Facts anyone who disagrees with this and says otherwise is a liar. I'm struggling with this as we speak and I was just thinking about it minutes before I saw this video on my feed. My tolerance is so high I can't even get high anymore it's never been like this. That shows that I've created a dependency and use weed to mask some things in my life such as anxiety about my future.

These people aren’t hurt or traumatized in the slightest, they’re a bunch of kids who never matured or grew up. All they do is stand around smoking and drinking while they have mommy daddy and their grandparents at home waiting for them to come home to their home cooked meal. 90% of these “gangbangers” still live with their mommy and get fed for free. Most suburbans have an unstable home compared to these wannabe gangbangers . I just hate to see so many people claim to have experienced trauma for sympathy or to fit in when they clearly haven’t been traumatized

[@ErenYaeger-x8o]

So true. If a cop is on edge the entire time they start interacting with people because of past experiences, they can escalate anything into a dangerous situation since they've never received any kind of mental help from the types of actual dangerous cases that they take on.

[@ItsNotEthereal]

Actually if you pay attention to a lot of police brutality cases, they could have been prevented if the officers had received better training and mental health services. It's sad because our government refuses to fix these problems because the solutions arent simple.

As someone who has smoked weed for over 10 years daily to cope with trauma and other stuff, I can say it does not help. You just live in the illusion that it helps you and that it's a relief from the stress your experiencing but eventually it will just make it worse and even add other problems with it such as anxiety and depression or other negative feelings and thoughts. It's not helping, it just delays the impact of the feelings to a later moment in time, which you then try to avoid again by smoking again. And only when you get out of this cycle you will start to see that this is the reality, unfortunately. I do have to say, it might be different when people would use CBD oil, because it works differently than when you would smoke weed (bc of the thc which has been removed from the oil).

[@KyleOdom-t7s]

@MarkEight36 the insurance industry would never allow full legalization. And if it did, work comp rates would be insane since the number of work comp claims being filed as a work related injury rather than something someone just goes to patient first for on the weekend because they don't want to lose their job. That's the sad reality. The place you work right now will have to pay higher rates and insurance companies have to be ok with paying out on Billions of dollars in healthcare bills they normally don't have to pay. Those Two things have to happen for nationwide legalization. Look at Florida with Hurricane coverage. They just decided to stop covering pretty much everyone in Florida for wind coverage. Millions of people have no home owners insurance and have no options for it because insurance companies lost too much money. Are you stupid enough to think every single business owner in American wants higher insurance rates and more paperwork when weed users are injured at the work place, just so some gang member can have legal weed?

[@kd7100]

@MarkEight36yeah, but, until they develop a way to prove that you’re high in that moment (like, a breathalyzerfor DUI’s), just having weed in your system is reason for anyone to say rhat you were blowed on the job.

As someone who grew up in South Central L.A, California. I remember a time where gang violence were primarily limited to fist fights. Sometimes stabbings would happen or someone seriously injured with a bat. When you saw the police, you waive at them as a kid. They would stop and hand their baseball cards. Then crack came and flipped the city and or community upside-down. Oliver North basically sent a community in to self destruction with his Iran Contra stunt. Gangs would have long been just memory, if crack had not come shortly after the end of Vietnam war.

So much ignorance in the comments section

[@Dannytentoes]

they way i dealt with my severe ptsd was with weed and music but i got tired of going to jail for 1 gram or a blunt, which made me lean towards alcohol, and dallas just decriminalized weed up to 4 ounces, but at this point im severly dependant on cheap vodka smh if anyone needs too trauma bond i got great music that can heal and open your mind on all platforms..

Weed can help anything 😎😎

8 Years and oh how things have changed.

[@t206kid]

People need a purpose in life, career, church, hobbies, volunteering, coaching, etc. Weed does not serve to add purpose to ones life (alcohol as well, so dont start with the alcohol comparisons)

I’m looking for a Vice video in which they had several active and retired police officers speaking about changes in the department. I saw it last night and forgot to save it . Can someone place the link in here? It’s a Part 1 and Part 2 work. Thanks

A “Job” is only an idea like “money”. When you realize what it means to have nothing. With no light at the end of the tunnel you are expected to perceivably act one way or the other and concede, from birth… The government created a job title for blacks in America and free housing when they begin to make to much money… slavery is all races on this planet. Black people have been oppressed, this is not slavery and that is where people loose semantic relevance. This is not just blacks in America. America will strive to say we abolished slavery and created equal rights, well Britain actually ended the slave trade…. And America used blacks for infrastructure until the country had a better capacity of physical labor, whites knew blacks would deliver immediately… but did not return them home after acquisition labor… Once you have been profiled by authority based on the color of your skin… you may have a change in perspective. Until then if you aren’t black and you have a opinion on the situation you are most likely ignorant and racist

Dude i grew up in a horrible area busting guns daily and some of them people dont even smoke in fact the real killers probaly dont even want to be off point. These bums using this because they think its cool. And news flash its cool to be dumb asf. Nothing cooler than be a dumb ass. And thats how they got tricked. And stay tricked.

[@downestfoo5613]

Exactly!!! They are not traumatized what’s so ever, these mfs version of gangbanging is livin with the mommy rent free in your 20s and then going outside to play with their friends. Everybody claiming mental illness thinking shits cool and fun. These mfs aren’t even gang affiliated. They can claim a set all they want but their just regular civilians 😂 they not even moving no weight at least
