Good morning @angelikacren ,

I am 50 and started using cannabis 6 years ago for medical reasons, to control nerve pain.

Hello, I have been medicating with cannabis to help with my Type 2 Diabetes, insomnia, neuropathy and RLS. I only vape dry buds before going to bed. I use a 50/50 mix of THC & CBD. I find that the CBD helps keep my blood sugar level down.

I have used cannabis for a long time. It was recreational. Once i got a job with random testing i stopped. I started hitting the gym and taking a cocktail of supplements to help me gain muscle. I did NOT take steroids. Well...Super Pump (GNC) clearly stated that "if your sports program tests DO NOT take this". Sounded great for me. 2 yrs later, I go to get my eye glass prescription and after getting the eye pressure test, I am being confronted by nurses and a doctor about using steroids. Wha?! True. Individually 3 nurses then finally the doctor returns interrogating me about steroids. I told them emphatically i never used them. Long story short, i had High IntroOcular Eye Pressure. Doctor said only cause in someone so young is steroid use. They recommended a specialist. I never went. 2 yrs later Wal-Mart optometry is alarmed at my eye pressure and recommends me to a specialist. I don't go. (Stupid i know) Well...that year i started making butter and baking bread. By the end of the year i was fat from infused bread(s). I started making Coco Oil to put in my coffee and bypass the calories. I take it daily and have for the past 5-6 yrs. Recently (2 yrs ago) i went to Kaiser to get my eye glasses renewed. The doctor goes through the tests and says "i got bad news." (Gasp!) Glaucoma has finally got a foot hold and i neglected myself sooo much that i am at the point of no return! Doctor says "you need bi-focals." I respond with, "what about my eye pressure?" Doctor says there is no issue. NO ISSUE! I continue with daily doses of a 1:1 and all this saturated fat HAS NOT screwed up my cholesterol. I had that checked after 5 yrs of daily use. All of my numbers were good.
