Doctor here, that’s false. Glaucoma isn’t just about managing pain but reducing the intraocular pressure that is causing the pain; treating pain alone will lead to vision damage and eventual blindness. That’s why doctors still advise eye drops for treatment over marijuana even in countries where marijuana is legal.
I wasn’t talking about glaucoma, though, that’s another comment thread on this post.
I was talking about cannabis for pain relief in particular as well as the benefits of pain management in general…
I think comments are a bit fucked up in this thread. I’ve had a couple replies that clearly weren’t meant for me
Ah, that would explain it! Thanks for pointing it out 🙂
