Raphael Mechoulam of Jerusalem's Hebrew University, the chief researcher
behind a project he described as a world-first, said the chemical (Delta-9
tetrohydrocannabinol [THC] )could trick the brain into suppressing unwanted
memories.

The U.S. National Centre for Mental Health says that 30 percent of Americans
who spent time in war zones have experienced the disorder, dubbed "shell
shock" by veterans of World War One.

Surveys conducted by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington
in 2003 found that nearly a fifth of U.S. soldiers returning from the war in
Iraq may suffer from the disorder.

A million Vietnam War veterans are believed to have developed it as well.
