Cannabis has been used to lower eye pressure for quite a while since the first small-scale trials were conducted on patients with glaucoma.
These trials were successful and high eye pressure became one of the first indications for legal medical marijuana in the US.
THC seems to be the main cannabinoid in weed that relieves intraocular pressure while CBD and other chemical compounds may be also helpful but more research is needed.
Because of this, decreasing eye pressure requires high-THC strains which can get you very high. However, it might be worth it for more serious cases as glaucoma is a serious condition that can damage optic nerves and threaten permanent blindness.
Whether you’re looking for Indicas, Sativas, or hybrids, the list below features the best strains to relieve eye pressure.
