The ability to reduce eye pressure and ease the effects of glaucoma was the first scientifically confirmed health benefit of medical marijuana, and it may still be the most well known argument supporting medical marijuana. However, this effect was discovered quite by accident. In the early 1970s, a group of UCLA researchers, who were studying the telltale marijuana red eye in hopes of somehow using the phenomenon to help the DEA to narc out stoners, incidentally found that cannabis reduced eye pressure by about 25 percent. That result was as good as any produced by an FDA approved glaucoma medication. (In fact, it still is today.)
Cannabis really does counteract glaucoma. Its a medical fact. Unfortunately, the effects only last about three hours, and it seems that the most effective cannabinoids are also the most psychoactively potent. Thus, to be completely treated, youd need to smoke six or seven joints a day. In other words, youd be high all the time. Very high....
