A member asked:
Does cannibas oil help lower eye pressure for glaucoma patients? i have read that it helps and hurts. i am interested in taking it for anxiety.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most of the info: I was able to discover about cannibas use and glaucoma was anecdotal, but I did find one study in the British Journal of Ophthalmology that supports its use in lowering intraocular pressure. Obviously one never wants to be in the position of using illegal drugs even if they have helpful properties. Discuss with your ophthalmologist. If approved, pursue channels for legal use within your state.
