But hey I doubt weed has all the interactions of this horrific "traditional med" eye drop they gave me yesterday:
Dorzolamide / Timolol ... Common brands: Cosopt

And the Really Fun News is... I had a drug interaction with using it the first time lastnight !!!! Who would have thunk this ... as an eye drop... would interact with good ole Aspirin in a severe way? Yep. Just check the serious interactions list. I take two aspirin in the morning because it takes the edge off the lingering pain in my shoulder and ankle from the motorcycle accident four months ago. I even pinched my nose bridge for a two minutes like you're supposed to to prevent the eye drop from traveling down the tear duct into sinus and throat and yield systemic side effects.
I experienced the listed side effect of ringing in ears and shortness of breath (and I am in good physical condition, athletic, albeit the wreck has had me out of gym up until two weeks ago I started back).
I will ask them if they can give me some Lumigan instead. All that does for side effects is permanently turn your iris black along with edges of your eye lids near eyeball and cause eye lashes to over grow.
Yeah, bring on those traditional meds !!
You could stop taking the aspirin for pain, and the eye drops without smoking the stuff, and without getting high!
You could also probably get by with a once a day dose if you used the proper method of extraction of the CBD's, and ingest it properly. It's pretty sad that this subject is kept in the dark and not openly discussed. Soon, big Pharma will exploit this hidden beneficial medicine. Yes, I did just refer to it as a medicine, and I know a lot of you are thinking, lol...yea right!
Big Pharma is working on this right now, it has been used in Israel in elderly assisted hospice type living facilities. Our government is more concerned at this point in collecting tax revenues from this "Drug", Now I called it a drug! Cause the way it is promoted is intoxicating. Smoking it, eating edibles that have been cooked have activated the THC which is the psychoactive part of the "Drug". I see no benefit of smoking, or eating activated cannabis. Its senseless, your completely missing what has happened to the chemical component's. If you want to get high, go ahead and smoke it, or eat edible's, but your never going to reap the benefits of CBD's. When its done properly, your not going to get high! Then it will truly become a Medicine...If you want to know how its done, just ask, I can tell you. Its not a secret.
