Glaucoma remains 'grandfathered" in as an indication for MJ. However this is not from physicians. Ophthalmologists have never recommended it and find it makes glaucoma worse. For those interested read article I wrote on page 476 http://www.omagdigital.com/publication/?i=550690#{%22issue_id%22:550690,%22page%22:6}
In the article it mentions that they tested this with eye drops with CBD in it? Does this mean that CBD used topically or sublingually can also cause an increase in eye pressure as well?
Yes but I don't think even the money worshipers of Big Weed are making CBD eye drops.
