“Research has shown that Marijuana alleviates Glaucoma. it is cruel and senseless to criminalize the doctor-advised use of a safe, effective, and widely available treatment.“
-- Francis Young, DEA Law Judge
Chronically elevated Eye Pressure is the leading cause of eye diseases such as Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration.
In these conditions, elevated eyeball fluid pressure impinges and damages the optic nerve and restricts blood flow, resulting in tissue damage that leads to optical dysfunction. Over time, a loss of vision and ultimately blindness can occur, if excessive pressure is not normalized.
"Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. In spite of the diverse therapeutic possibilities, new and better treatments for glaucoma are highly desirable. Cannabinoids effectively lower the intraocular pressure (IOP) and have neuroprotective actions."
-- Dr. Tomida, Ophthalmologist
Cannabis has been proven time, and time again, to be a useful and effective anti-inflammatory for a range of different conditions. Many studies find that Cannabis reduces Glaucoma-related inflammation.

"Canasol eyedrops, (a liquid Cannabis based formulation) has been demonstrated to be effective in lowering intraocular pressure, and has also been shown to potentiate the effectiveness of other widely-used glaucoma drugs such as Timolol."
-- Dr. Manley West, Pharmacologist, University of the West Indies, Jamaica, Mon
Blockage of the fluid drainage channels helped by anti-inflammatory agents, including Medical Marijuana that relax muscles that impinge drainage and control drainage channels.
Elevated eye pressure symptoms include, sharp pain, seeing stars, migraines, temporary blindness and visual difficulties.
