Top 5 Best Hemp Flower Strains for Veterans

Anxiety is how we respond to stressful situations. Calling war a stressful situation is an understatement. But for some veterans, the anxiety doesn’t go away and may even worsen over time. Nightmares, a racing pulse, and excessive worry or fear are telltale signs of chronic anxiety. For veterans, persistent chronic anxiety can also include bouts with social anxiety. When cases persist, anxiety disorders like PTSD, panic disorders, and phobias may develop.

While the association between veterans and PTSD is familiar, it is not so commonly recognized how military vets sacrifice their medical health as well to some conditions and diseases that many of us have never even heard of, including:

 

  • AL Amyloidosis — Tends to affect veterans that were exposed to herbicides and can cause medical issues with several organs and joints.
  • Brucellosis — This bacterial disease is common in Gulf War vets and includes symptoms like excessive sweating and joint and muscle pain.
  • Hodgkin’s Disease — A type of lymphatic system cancer that also tends to affect veterans exposed to herbicides.
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) — This progressive neurodegenerative disease affects motor function and causes death within three to five years.
  • Parkinson’s Disease — A degenerative brain disorder that causes shaking, stiffness, and problems with walking and balance. It’s also caused by exposure to herbicides.
  • Traumatic Brain Injury — This is particularly common with veterans of recent wars because of proximity to explosions.
  • Prostate Cancer — Because of exposure to herbicide, veterans who served in Korea or Vietnam are at a higher risk.
  • Respiratory Cancers — Again … exposure to herbicides.
  • Musculoskeletal Ailments — Around 60% of veterans have recently been diagnosed with joint and back disorders.

 

In this post, we’ll be sharing 5 hemp flower strains (4 CBD strains and 1 CBG) that may help with PTSD, anxiety, other mental and emotional disorders, along with symptoms of pain, inflammation, muscle spasms, and insomnia.

For a more in depth look at treating PTSD with CBD oil, see our article on cannabinoids and PTSD.

In addition, we have another article that really delves in to CBD effects for pain.

And, as a final note before the list, preclinical studies have shown that cannabinoids (CBD, THC, CBG — often in tandem) have anti-cancer effects. Also, there’s a lot of evidence to show that cancers in humans respond positively to treatment with cannabinoids.
