Transcription: An image of a man slightly hunched over, with one hand pressed on his lower back. The text says "I'M HERE, I'M QUEER, AND MY JOINT PAIN IS MODERATE TO SEVERE"
Doctor here, that’s false. Glaucoma isn’t just about managing pain but reducing the intraocular pressure that is causing the pain; treating pain alone will lead to vision damage and eventual blindness. That’s why doctors still advise eye drops for treatment over marijuana even in countries where marijuana is legal.
I wasn't talking about glaucoma, though, that's another comment thread on this post.
I was talking about cannabis for pain relief in particular as well as the benefits of pain management in general..
I think comments are a bit fucked up in this thread. I've had a couple replies that clearly weren't meant for me
Ah, that would explain it! Thanks for pointing it out 🙂
