How do I show that I have glaucoma?

[RiseAgainst]

Well I was diagnosed with glaucoma at around age 9 which is extremely rare, I've been taking various drops to try and lower the pressure since. I also began to have intense glaucoma migraines. I started smoking weed at 14 and when I did I'm not gonna lie I REALLY enjoyed it. At first the effect was slow because I only smoked it weekly or every other week but my eye pressure started to fall from around 30 to about 27 and the glaucoma migraines slowed down and were only happening every month or so. When I began smoking it daily the effects were startling, my pressure went from 26-28 down to 20 and the migraines are almost a thing of the past now. I feel that marijuana helped me a lot and would like to be legal with it.

My question is, how do I prove that I have glaucoma to the doctor? I have prescriptions for timoptic and stuff, would that be enough? or would I need like a letter from my glaucoma specialist?

If you were diagnosed(sp) at 9
It should be well documented by now.

You just tryin' to get a card/legal weed?

Dude,
I would say your Golden But I like Purple Better,
Sound Purple to Me.

I have a Friend who it also helps
More Than Any Meds they give her.
But resides in a non-Med state

ohh that sucks, I live in cali so i guess im still purple lol. I want to be able to grow my own legally and smoke it legally. It will save me quite a bit of money since I'm kinda a heavy smoker.

Check out the list of Doctors here ..

Agreed, with your med records backing up your claim, you should not have a problem.

If you go to one of the larger operations (i.e. Sponsors on this site) for a recommendation just take some docs with you and there will be absolutely no problem. Most MMJ Docs in the Bay Area don't even require docs.

You'll have no problem securing a recommendation. Good luck.

Then you can grow it and smoke it legally till you turn purple. Enjoy!
