I am a 68 yr. male with glaucoma . My vision is fading fast . Has anyone had any experience with medical weed for this medical condition ? I have never used any but I could if it would help . Hurry I am going down fast . I can barely see to type .

Why don’t you check with your doctor. If there’s a chance it could help, he could get you registered with the State and you could try. Nothing to lose...possibly something to gain.

I would ask your doctor for an opinion. But, in order to get a marijuana license with the state, you need to go to a doctor that has been trained, approved, and registered by the state. Most doctors are not. You can plan to spend about $250 to $300 for the doctor appointment and the state license, not including the cost of the drugs. It's pretty much a ripoff, but worth it if it helps.

The Village Sun has an add from a medical marijuana place fairly regularly. They could probably guide you.

Cannabis (Marijuana is a slang term really) helps a lot of people with all kinds of issues, including me. Reach out to me if you have interest in Cannabis. I’ve considered producing YouTube videos for Villagers About Cannabis who have questions and may be in need of some guidance. Email me at csm1766@gmail.com

What source refers to the term "marijuana" a slang word? The state of Florida officially calls it marijuana, and, the DEA has a long list of slang words for the drug, but marijuana is not on their list.

But the term “marijuana,” given its history and the nature of prohibition, is downright nasty. Marijuana is what prohibition supporters called cannabis as they sought to demonize its use and criminalize its consumers.

What is marijuana?

According to H.L. Mencken there are no known examples of the use of this word prior to 1894. It became identified as the “devil’s weed” by early supporters of prohibition, and many Americans don’t know any other name for the cannabis plant.

The Spanish word “marijhuana” was adopted to reinforce the connection between the “devil’s weed” and Mexican immigrants who, allegedly, first introduced it to American society.

Being anti-marijuana was also a way to be anti-immigrant.

You're welcome. :ho:

Lol thanks. Cannabis is much maligned. There are many benefits and the history of Cannabis prohibition is not often discussed.
