The magnificent New York Botanical Garden features a landmark greenhouse with rain-forest and cactus displays and is situated in the Bronx. Just near the Hudson River, Wave Hill is a landscaped public garden with wooded paths and a cultural center.
The name “Bronx” originated with Jonas Bronck, who established the first settlement in the area as part of the New Netherland colony in 1639.Eventually, the Bronx received many immigrant and it was transformed into an urban community, first from various European countries like, Ireland, Germany, and Italy) and later from the Caribbean region like, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic, as well as African American migrants from the southern United States.The Bronx wide offers diversity including affluent, upper-income, and middle-income neighborhoods such as Riverdale, Fieldston, SpuytenDuyvil, Schuylerville, Pelham Bay, Pelham Gardens, Morris Park, and Country Club. The Bronx, particularly the South Bronx, saw a sharp decline in population, livable housing, and the quality of life in the late 1960s and the1970s, culminating in a wave of arson. Since, the South Bronx has shown significant redevelopment.
The Hudson River separates the Bronx on the west from Alpine, Tenafly and Englewood Cliffs in Bergen County, New Jersey; the Harlem River separates it from the island of Manhattan to the southwest; the East River separates it from Queens to the southeast; and to the east, Long Island Sound separates it from Nassau County in western Long Island.

A smaller river, the Hutchinson River (named after the religious leader Anne Hutchinson, killed along its banks in 1641), passes through the East Bronx and empties into Eastchester Bay. The Bronx also includes several small islands in the East River and Long Island Sound, such as City Island and Hart Island. Rikers Island in the East River, home to the large jail complex.

Why Medical Marijuana?
PTSD
PTSD is a qualifying condition for obtaining medical marijuana in New York. But what is PTSD and why is it difficult to live with?
Understanding PTSD
Millions of Americans experience symptoms of PTSD. This can include combat veterans, professional emergency service workers, victims of abuse, and other individuals who have been involved in life-threatening or traumatic events.
Post traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, can give rise to a range of feelings and emotions that link back to traumatic events. Some may experience intense flashbacks or nightmares in which they feel as if they are reliving the trauma. External factors can trigger these symptoms as can any random occurrence. Individuals with PTSD might also display erratic behavior, volatile moods, and feelings of shame, guilt or anxiety. PTSD may lay dormant for months or years or may even show up one month after the traumatic event. PTSD is also notorious difficult to predict, while symptoms can sometimes persist for long stretches of time they can also disappear just as easily only to resurface at a later date.
Symptoms
PTSD symptoms can be separated in 4 parts:
· Flashbacks=Intrusive memories
· Avoidant behavior= repressed memories of the incident or avoidance of friends and family members to avoid thinking/talking about the incident.
· Negative feelings which lead to a distorted self perception. Feelings of fear, horror, disgust, anxiety, depression, insomnia and shame may ensue. It is not uncommon for individuals to become increasingly detached from their normal life.
· Hyper-startle or Hyper-arousal can cause one to have angry outbursts, periods of mania and uncharacteristic activity which may include reckless behavior and sudden paranoia.
An individual is diagnosed with PTSD If these symptoms persist for longer than a month at a time.
Treatment
PTSD treatments usually integrates psychotherapy with medications. Therapeutic options include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), prolonged exposure therapy (PE), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) which involves recounting memories of the PTSD incident as the patient is exposed to rapid visual and auditory cues. Typical medicines prescribed include SSRIs and SNRIs which are also used for treating anxiety and depression and have heavy side effects.
Alternative treatment: MMJ
In 2013 a team of US and Canadian researchers conducted a study of 46 9/11 survivors, in an effort to understand the neurobiological mechanisms that underscored the reaction to traumatic events. Of these study participants 24 indicated that they suffered from symptoms of PTSD.
The researchers discovered that people with PTSD had lower levels of certain cannabinoid compound in their brain, when compared to those who display symptoms of PTSD. The researchers posited that this deficiency affected the functionality of individuals’ CB-1 receptors, which were responsible for regulating stress and fear responses as well as emotional learning. While a functional CB-1 receptor was able to erase traumatic memories, an impaired CB-1 receptor was unable to effectively process these memories.
Medical researchers believe that Cannabinoids, one of the primary active ingredients in cannabis, may be able to be combined with leading therapy techniques like CBT and EMDR to restore functionality to the CB-1 receptor. This would allow individuals with PTSD to reduce expressions of fear and anxiety while reducing the consolidation of traumatic memories in the form of phobias.
