“I used to know someone who used THC for glaucoma. By prescription, too.”
Was he burning that “prescription” joint up in his emptied out blunt? Or was it in a medicine form, properly encapsulated, without the toxic fumes degenerating everybody around him?
No.
He was a 50-something engineer taking internal medication. It was experimental. He was trying to keep his sight and his job. He worked for NOAA.
I know it’s a topic of jest, but there have been legitimate reasons to use THC for medical reasons.
And no, I don’t like it.
I also know people who have had broken backs, needing pain medication. Rather than opioids, they can use this. Hospitals and doctors are really going against pain meds.
