Does anyone live in Canada here? Have you ever heard of ppl getting marijuana for glucoma or using it for the same purpose? I have glucoma and am contemplating smoking weed to help the pressure b/c the meds are not helping and I'm desperate to try anything at this point. Also, I'm wondering how you can order weed online- isn't that illegal?

First, I want to point out that I am not very familer with medical marijuana in Canada, other than it exists.

I don't think you can buy it on the internet. You will probably have to visit your doctor, get a recommendation, and go to a Cannabis Club near you to buy your medicine. That is if the system is anything like that in California, which I have more knowledge about.

And yes, marijuana should be able to help a lot with glaucoma. Marijuana takes pressure off the eyes better than just about anything on the market, and it has much better side effects

Actually, marihuana has proven not to be very effective in treating glaucoma.
It was used as such, more or less as a 'stop gap', years ago before newer and effective drugs became available.
I suggest you do a search on this site (and off site as well of course). There is ample information to feast your eyes on...

It drives me crazy when I hear things that are not true about marijuana. I have had glaucoma since 1980 at the very least. All doctor prescribed glaucoma medicine did for me was lead to laser eye surgery. It works to stop glaucoma from stealing a persons eye sight no matter what anyone wants to believe. If not, I would not be able to see to type this. If that is not enough, I also believe that after 43 years of diabetes, marijuana has stopped diabetic retinopathy from blinding me. Opinion sucks, I'll belive what I see to be true.

My eye doctor says there is a noticable pressure drop from a smoker to a non smoker....

I have histoplasmosis and need regular checks to check for any further damage the disease may have caused. Since I have started using herb on a regular basis, my occular pressure has remained the same. It's has been that way for forty years, now, and I ain't about to stop......

My sister, who has the same disease, has lost all frontal vision in both eyes. She has never been a regular toker..........

You can take my personal experience for what it's worth.........

I happen to live in Canada and actually know someone currently using medicinal buds for glaucoma oddly enough happens to be the only person I know smoking legally.

You cant order weed online you will have to either consult a doctor or go to your local distributing head shop for details.

I have a very large history of glaucoma in my family so I'm likely to get it in which case my shit will be government supplied for sure.
