I find this highly doubtful. High thc strains as well as indica strains can put the user in an easily malleable alpha brain wave stage. If anything the worldwide legalization of cannabis is merely for control and docility. If abused it can down regulate dopamine D2 receptors in PFC. This isn't a good thing.

Cannabis of course should ha e always been legal. The idea of decriminalization and legalization via tax is just another form of control.

Look at psychotherapeutic uses of cannabis. The Israeli army uses it to treat ptsd. It has the ability to allow users to objectify trauma. I don't know why, but it does.

to objectify trauma

What does this phrase mean?

I am not sure. I have seen this before but keep in mind the programming has grown in leaps and bounds since MKULTRA was admitted to

It is related to cognitive behavioral therapy. I would encourage you to google the use of psychedelics in treating trauma, ptsd, and terminal illness

It means, it is used often through guided imagery led by psychotherapists to mentally relive the trauma via deep recollection. As the patient is reliving the trauma, somehow marijuana allows them to look back on the memory and experience the feelings without internalizing the experience.

It allows a mental distance; that the person with PTSD can think about the trauma without it triggering them (like a flashback)

express in concrete form. First step for recovering from trauma is to open up about it, and own it.

I see, so its like a mental acknowledgment of the suffering and a realization as to what is causing it?

Basically. If someone has a permanant problem with their life . "owning It" always seems to be the way that works best with dealing with it
