Hi and thanks for all the information. Just to clarify, I am taking a full set of glaucoma meds (alphagan, LUMIGAN, cosopt, acetazolomide) to maintain the 20/200 vision I have remaining in my left eye. I'm taking cannabis oil for my arthritis pain; pain that has been ongoing most of my life. I did trade in opioids for it. My remaining vision is precious to me since I lost my right eye, and I proudly identify as blind (legally). I totally agree that cannabis is unfairly expensive, and not paid by ANY insurance in this country since it is still federally illegal. I was told several years ago that in order for it to help my glaucoma I'd need to stay high all the time. I'm not interested in that. I never get "high" or loaded. Microdosing is just fine for managing my neuropathic pain. I don't know of any other way to manage my glaucoma pressures than working with my ophthalmologist.
