I was inspected with glaucoma almost two years ago.
I was using eyedrops to lesson the pressure in the eye, even though I was having a honorableamount of concerns from the eye drops.
I had heard that smoking medical marijuana could help the glaucoma, even though I didn’t know all the stats. I wanted to talk to my healthcare expert and see what he thought about marijuana helping with glaucoma. I was afraid it was going to interfere with the optic nerve, and after that we would be blind, my healthcare expert told me he had study a lot about using medical marijuana, and the primary complication was that I would need to smoke marijuana every three hours, however he had heard where that could be almost as damaging to the lungs and body as smoking nicotine cigarettes. There was some talk about making eyedrops that were high in THC; but marijuana wasn’t water soluble. There was no way they had to do more research into how to make the medical marijuana eyedrops, but thus far, that had not worked. She then said there was some more recent research showing that medical marijuana may not just treat glaucoma by reducing eye pressure. It could also act on receptors and supply protection against harm to the optic nerve, but a lot of research still needed to be done, and at this time, he would not propose medical marijuana in the treatment of glaucoma. I was ready to spend my money the cost in getting the medical marijuana ID card. I wanted to get all the paraphernalia needed to smoke marijuana, and then the healthcare expert told me no.
