Hi nyc,

I doubt anyone knows the answer to that because the mind is complex. I believe any answer given here would be hypothetical. Unless a study was done on people that were high and exposed to trauma versus a placebo group (which those don't always tell the facts) there is no way of knowing.

I initially thought you were asking if pot would help reduce the anxiety after the fact. Sorry for my comments, as I was unaware of the real question and must have jumped to conclusions.

I smoked pot several times when I was a teenager and it made me paranoid, and wanted to go to the hospital. One hypothetical is if pot makes you scared it probably would make the trauma worse, and if it relaxes you then it may lesson the effects of the trauma. It stands to reason, but with the mind it is difficult to answer such a question.

Peace
Tammy
