I have glaucoma, anxiety, stress, insomnia and mood disorders... should i start smoking marijuana?

Probably not!: Best money you could spend right now would be to get a consult with a board-certified psychiatrist, especially one with training and experience with addiction psychiatry to explore the details and timing of your symptoms... Before you embark on some "knee jerk" solution such as starting to smoke cannabis... Which is listed as an hallucinogen and is habit forming! don't experiment with your brain!

Glaucoma: There are many forms of glaucoma. There are many treatments for these many forms of glaucoma. There is no simple "cure." most treatments require patients to be regularly monitored and treatments altered during the course of a patient's lifetime. Marijuana can slightly lower eye pressure associated with one form of glaucoma but it is not a good or approved drug plus you shouldn't treat yourself!

Hmm no: Talk to your eye doc about tx options. In the long run mj may worsen your anxiety & depression, altho in the short run it may feel like its helping since you stop worrying about your probs. Not dealing with issues rarely helps! mj may decrease rem sleep that is needed for good quality sleep. Who dx'd you w/ anxiety/depression? I think you should consider counseling and avoid self DX and tx!

Not long-acting: The effect of marijuana on eye pressure is too short for it to be useful.
