Passing The Smell Test
Anxiety Insights reports that the inability to identify odors may be an indication of severe PTSD. A world first study of Vietnam veterans' sense of smell has revealed that an inability to identify smells indicates extreme symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).Of course a sample size of 31 is not very definitive. It is about the smallest sample size where Gaussian statistics apply. The results are interesting and definitely warrant a larger study. There is a connection between the amygdala, smell, and memory. Here is something I wrote a while back on the connection between the amygdala, PTSD, and fear memories. PTSD and the Endocannabinoid System. Here is one about PTSD Pot Alcohol & Substance Abuse. We are really closing in on PTSD. I think a time will come when we realize the utter stupidity of making war on the self medicating.

You're absolutely right about this issue. It makes about as much sense to criminalize drugs as it would to criminalize obesity.
