As you say, there are other drugs. Why someone would take a chance with their vision by using marijuana is beyond me.

"Neither smoked marijuana nor THC are viable approaches in the treatment of glaucoma."
-- American Medical Association, Report of the Council on Scientific Affairs, 10-1-97, Conclusions

"The dose of marijuana necessary to produce a clinically relevant effect in the short term appears to produce an unacceptable level of undesirable side effects such as euphoria, systemic hypotension, and/or dry eye and conjunctival hyperemia in the majority of glaucoma patients in whom the drug has been carefully studied."
-- National Institutes of Health Report, page 12

"Presently, there is no scientifically verifiable evidence that marijuana or its derivatives are safe and effective in the treatment of glaucoma. The availability of a wide variety of alternative treatments that do not have marijuana's psychoactive and other specific side effects argues against the use of marijuana for treating glaucoma. Marijuana offers no advantage over currently available glaucoma drugs and indeed may be less effective than these agents."
-- The National Eye Institute, Fact Sheet on the Therapeutic Use of Marijuana for Glaucoma

Finding - "The American Academy of Ophthalmology Committee on Drugs presently finds no scientifically verifiable evidence that the use of marijuana is safe and effective in the treatment of glaucoma."

Source 1...AMA...beholden to government with a vested interest in keeping their grant dollars coming in...questionable source, apt to side with government.
Source 2...National Institutes of Health...a government agency destined to toe the line. What did you expect them to say?
Source 3...The National Eye Institute...yet another government agency as a source. What did you expect them to say?

Do you not see a pattern here? It is in every "study" that you've ever linked/sourced. What about all of the statements regarding the lack of studies and the oft repeated suggestion that further studies be conducted? Did you just happen to forget those parts? I can post them for the edification of others if you would like.
