I might...vision has been getting "cloudy" lately. Haven't been to a doc yet, so...

What are your symptoms?

One of the treatments is weed, you know...

Cloudy might be cataracts, BTDT already.

I'm seeing a lace like pattern in my left eye and it went to about 90% this morning.

Doc said high eye pressure and my right eye is in danger too.

You might want to do a little research on the weed thing.

Before anyone says something stupid...

Marijuana is still illegal federally and is still referenced on the 4473. Additionally, it has been ruled that having a marijuana recommendation card is proof enough that you are a user of the substance. If you wish to keep your firearms, you face the potential of many many decades of prison time due to the laws and mandatory minimums that are currently in place.

I support your freedom, but I'm not in charge.

Hows your blood pressure? a lot of eye issues are BP related. Also are you a diabetic? that is also a factor in eye issues.

I was seen by my eye Dr. yesterday and was told I have high eye pressure and at risk for Glaucoma but do not HAVE it as of now....
I also have floaters which can be annoying at times (certain light conditions) but are supposedly harmless unless they increase majorly.

They checked all that yesterday.

I'm still on the fence with the legal reefer thing.
When you buy a weapon from an FFL you fill out a form prior to the call in. IIRC it asks the question about addiction to any illegal substance. Even if you obtain herb from a doc and check no, your in violation of federal law as previously mentioned.

My worry is after you get your script from Dr. Feel good your name will appear on a can't own a gun list and once your on that fed list it will take more money than most of us have and legal fees to ever get it removed IF at all.

I haven't messed with it since the 1970s but would like more info for is use on sciatic nerve damage like I have.

Until laws change.......
The loss of my rights is unacceptable to me so I'll keep using Advil and Tylenol and some high end bourbon now and again.

Sorry for the rant and getting off track.
