How Cannabis Can Help

Cannabinoids reduce intraocular pressure (THC & CBN perform better than CBD, which increased pressure in mice). CB1 & CB2 receptors, TRPV channels, PPAR, and other cannabinoid targets are found throughout the human eye offering neuroprotection, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. THC via inhalation lowers intraocular pressure by 25-35%, and recent trials of dronabinol also worked to lower IOP.
