“Cannabinoids have recently emerged as a possible treatment of stress- and anxiety-related disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Here, we examined whether cannabinoid receptor activation could prevent the effects of traumatic stress on the development of behavioral and neuroendocrine measures in a rat model of PTSD…

…cannabinoids could serve as a pharmacological treatment of stress- and trauma-related disorders.

…the results extend previous findings to another stress model and to a post-trauma treatment configuration that are more relevant to clinical context and add to the growing body of data pointing to a therapeutic potential of cannabinoids for treatment of PTSD.”
