Medical Marijuana?
i have a family history of glaucoma, my father, uncle and grandfather all have it and have had it since their mid to late twentys except my father was a pothead most his life he didn’t get it until he was forty, i was wondering how i can obtain a medical marajuana card in Oregon, if i have to wait until i have glaucoma or if i can get it now to help stave it off until i am older. i have one eye and i really don’t want my vision more limited.
You should really have a serious talk with your doctor…..your eyesight is at stake.
Go to an Ophthalmologist and have surgery. With pot you might get blind faster. I heard of somebody who smoke cigars and he turned blind in his late forties. This is not a joke.
Marijuana is not considered to be a first line treatment in glaucoma, but a third line. There are many main line treatments available for said disease. All glaucoma treatments, which I know of, are not preventive in nature. They start when the disease start.
Go to your doctor.
