    he clearly didn’t go on about the so called "Health risks" of using marijuana because there are none.. unless it’s been mixed some other shit, hes an idiot.

    my advice take the drops but also smoke pot and if you feel fine after like a week of doing drops and weed keep doing it

    My eye doctor told me this "eye drops are good but can only be used twice a day and may cause more eye issues, marijuana is the only drug on Earth that can safely lower eye pressure constantly. I’m not tell you to use it but I’m also not saying don’t use it." I was so happy to hear that

    Bullshit!!!

    I was using cannabis oil for my to stave off my glaucoma. After about 9 months I went thru a detox in order to pass a drug test for employment. As a woman, I needed to detox for 3 full months to fully get it out of my system. About 6-8 weeks into the detox l needed to get my drivers license renewed. When taking the vision test, I was told by the DMV that I no longer needed a corrective lens restriction on my license. This was significant because I also have an astigmatism and have worn glasses since I was a teenager. So, even though I wasn’t actively using and the cannabis was just what remained in my system, it not only improved my genetically inherited glaucoma, but it improved a lifelong astigmatism. No doctor ever did that for me.
