‘THC, not CBD for glaucoma’
– Kotoku Denjiro

_________________________________

In the world of health, CBD’s a star,
But for glaucoma, it might not go far.
Though it’s derived from the cannabis tree,
For this eye disease, it’s not the key¹.

Glaucoma’s pressure, it does not ease,
In fact, it might give a squeeze¹².
Studies show, to our dismay,
CBD could make the pressure sway¹²³⁴.

In the eyes of rats, the pressure rose,
By eighteen percent, the studies show²⁴.
So if you’ve glaucoma, please take heed,
CBD alone might not be what you need².

THC, another cannabinoid,
Might help where CBD has void².
But remember, before you proceed,
It’s best to consult a doc indeed¹.
