  • Glaucoma and Marijuana


    Have you guys ever tried using cannabis for medical purposes? I have been diagnosed with glaucoma for almost a year now and I've been searching any alternative medicine that can help me then i came across this article that says marijuana can be used to treat and prevent glaucoma. I've been planning to try this kind of strain here in http://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/purple-chemdawg/ but i have no idea where to start or buy. Can you guys give me any tips or any ideas that can help me? Thank you!

    I dont think pot prevents glaucoma... I was diagnosed as glaucoma 'suspect' a few years ago and my eye doc prescribed me timolol maleate eye drops to reduce ocular pressure. About a year into the treatment I got a persistent headache and have had it ever since. Every second of every day, just a headache. TYVM

    But in addition to the headache my ocular pressure did drop and has stayed lower even though I quit using the drops 2-3 years ago. I think my doc misdiagnosed me, I dont think I have glaucoma. ****en quack. I cant sue for malpractice or the corporation making the drops.

    I was told by another doc pot does reduce eye pressure but not that much and only temporarily, maybe 2-3 hours after getting high. You'd basically have to smoke it all day and the drops are more effective.

      They'd have to isolate the chemicals that can treat glaucoma and put it in eye-drops, or something.

        I think its the thc that has an effect on glaucoma and may not work in drops, but I'm just guessing now

          Hypothetically the population of the netherlands then should have a lower percentage of people with Glaucoma, compare to other countries then
          (considering the legal availability of marijuana in the netherlands)

            Weed is for a bunch of floofy-doof hippies and people trapped in "the game".

                  Is this Sava's new website? Or a competitor trying to take over his PolyPot turf?

                    I think it might be spam. But maybe that's just content now?
