I've just been diagnosed with Glaucoma (STILL No Surgery!)

[Slab Bulkhead]

well now you can put on an eyepatch and become big boss, just without the strength, bionic arm, coolness...
yeah really only just in the eyepatch

I've been reading and marijuana doesn't seem like too effective a treatment. I'm not really a stoner, so I'll pass unless I can get my hands on a vaporizer.

[Alyx Vance]

Why not?

It causes cancer!!1!

I said I wasn't a stoner, but then I got high.
But in all seriousness, you don't have to be a stoner to smoke weed for medical purposes.

i don't condone the recreational use of marijuana however i heard that it does wonders for glaucoma. try asking your doctor about it

Illegal rope and paper making plant happens to be the miracle plant? Sounds like snake oil to me. I could probably dry out a cactus and smoke it and feel similar effects.

[Rigel]

A lot of sources say that marijuana might actually end up causing more harm than good for Glaucoma patients.

[ultimamax]

yeah I wouldn't take marijuana unless as a last resort painkiller thing because its effects on people with various condition arent fully explored

Marijuana definitely decreases intraocular pressure, but there's no widespread agreement over whether that's the only cause of glaucoma.

In other words, I got my flu-shot today. Will I get autism now?

most likely

[Akio]

Why not?

not a fan of stoner culture. this is of course generalizing a population and i'm positive there's some awesome people in there.

i think it would be better if we could focus more on the medical use of marijuana though. my buddy quontos has bad glaucoma and will eventually go blind, and he's prescribed it to help with pain.

[Nonnel]

stoner culture is stuff. anyone who revolves their entire life around weed is probably really dull mentally and socially
but there's no reason he shouldn't use it for medical use.

[Rally]

Anyone who revolves their life around the culture of a hobby instead of the hobby itself is a loser. Just enjoy stuff because you enjoy it, not because other people do.

OT: Eye-patches are bad-ass. But obviously go get surgery and do everything you can to keep your vision, losing an eye will forget your depth perception.

tip: you can wear an eyepatch without a damaged eye

[blockman01]

You should never lose sight of whats really important, smoke weed everyday

[#Jeetlor]

you'll be like fetty wap now.

[Mr Man]

Can't you get medical marijuana for this?
