    Israeli soldiers suffering from combat stress could soon be treated with cannabis to relieve their symptoms.
    "The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) medical corps, in cooperation with the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, is introducing the use of THC, the active agent in the cannabis plant, which helps relieve post-traumatic stress disorders, on an experimental basis," an army statement said.

    The mental health department of the Medical Corps was set to to begin tests on volunteers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after reserve duty.

    Hundreds of Israelis have been treated for combat stress after performing their mandatory national service in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

    The scientist who will help conduct the experiment heads a research team which discovered that cannabis helped mice which had suffered physical stress, and had even reduced the risk of stroke.

    The army said the use of THC had been approved by a military and a civilian committee.

    Sorry i don't really have any opinion on the matter and being that i AM from israel i don't see that subject affecting the legalization of marijuana use in the citizen community considering it is still very much illegal, furthemore to the last poster, ("crazy arabs") You know Israelis aren't arabs.
    Sometimes its better to shut up and make people think you are an idiot rather then to speak and prove it.
