Cannabis lowers eye pressure only while you're high:
- In most patients it does lower the pressure - but only during the window you're high
- The smoke inflames and dries out your eyes and it's bad for your lungs
- Being high 24/7 for the next 20 years is not a realistic prescription
- Eye pressure runs on a circadian rhythm and peaks at night in the early morning hours
- That's why some patients use edible forms before bed to cover the nighttime peak
