    Hello – This is a bit of a sticky subject, as medical marijuana has not been approved for legal use in most states. However, my 2 cents is that until doctors fully understand the link between cigarette smoking and TED, trying this approach would be a huge risk in terms of aggravating one’s TED.

    Well, here are some more thoughts! To be clear, and I know you realize this already, but IOP, glaucoma, is a separate entity that TED. There are several kinds of glaucoma, and I suggest you confer with an eye doc who specializes in glaucoma.
    In larger communities, there are glaucoma clinics. It should be pretty easy to find a good glaucoma eye doc.

    For the rest of your question, I refer you to the site below. There is a lot of stuff on the net @ glaucoma and marijuana, but I think this is the most reliable. I hope you hear from others about this. I do know the glaucoma drops are very effective, and there are numerous evidenced based studies to support this. Anecdotal experiences are not always worth relying on, cause other variables have not been controlled. Not to mention the dose. Anyway, here it is, for your consideration.
