I swear IAM TELLING THE TRUTH

It is medically proven that smoking pot redudes the amount of pressure within the eyeball. Marijuana can be a useful mode of therapy for glaucoma, because glaucoma patients need a drug or surgical procedure that reduces intraocular pressure and it must do so without causing unacceptable damage to the eye or other parts of the body and it must reduce the introcular pressure sufficiently to prevent optic nerve damage.
The biggest reason it is so important to lower that intraocular pressure is because damage to that optic nerve leads to blindness.
Yes Iam an advocate of marijuana use (obviously)
But Iam also no idiot I will graduate from Navarro College
with an assosiates in Occupational Therapy in the fall.
I HAVE TAKEN MY CLASSES AND I KNOW WHAT IAM TALKING ABOUT.
You don't have to turn into a pot head
it only takes a small amount
everytime you smoke it lowers the pressure in the eyeball,
this is one of the biggest controvesy's facing marijuana today
you don't have to be a drug addict
but you can make yourself comfortable
(Iam a BIG believer in God myself if that makes any difference)

My son has had glaucoma since the age of 10. You must have constant supervision of the 'pressure' in your eyes. He sees his doctor every 6 months. At your age (24), it is possible that surgery can correct the galucoma. It is something my son looks forward to in the future (he's 18). He has been using Xalatan eye drops for 10 years to control his eye pressure. You are truly risking your eyesight by not seen a doctor. Xalatan costs me $50.00 a bottle (with insurance), so yes, it is very expensive.

You didn't say what state you are in but these people may be able to help you find a Dr. that works part time at a free clinic as a service to the Community to help those that have no Insurance. Go to this website and find out if there is a program next to you. get their phone # and explain to them your problem. http://www.preventblindness.org/
