Waaayyy back in the time before medical marijuana, potheads used to joke about all of the diseases pot could be used to treat like hunger, lack of sense of humor, boredom, anxiety and insomnia. Thanks to advances in medicine, marijuana, and law, we now have medical marijuana in many states, including our fine neighbors to the east, New Jersey. And so now that medical marijuana exists, we don't really get to joke about all of the diseases that pot could cure. Big Pharma figured out that pot could be used to treat real diseases like Alzheimer's, nausea, anxiety, schizophrenia, inflammation, and glaucoma.
Ahhh glaucoma, a glimmer of hope in an otherwise hopeless world for the pothead who someday dreams of picking up fat bags of KB at Rite Aid. People used to joke, "Man if I only had glaucoma, I could get fire nugs and my dads insurance would pay for it!" For years potheads speculated on the causes of glaucoma and somehow came to the conclusion that only grandmas got to smoke government shrubs to treat glaucoma. Well speculate no more friends because the new GSK product Veramyst, a nasal spray used to treat seasonal allergy symptoms, will give you glaucoma.
So now, instead of complaining to your doctor that you have excess eye pressure and can't stop the voices in your head, you can just tell him that every spring and fall you get itchy, watery eyes, and clogged sinuses. Heck, go against everything you've been taught: ask the doctor for Veramyst by name. I know some of you are probably freaking out right now because if you have ever tried to get Vicodin or Xanax from your doctor by asking him for them by name, you know it probably wont work. Trust me guys, ask him for Veramyst, he'll never put it together. Once you get the goods, you're in the clear. Just use as directed and in a few years you'll have fully fledged glaucoma, for reals this time. And who knows, in the meantime you may finally get to enjoy simple pleasures like raking leaves and sniffing flowers. No one will ever be smart enough to figure out that you are willing to take a medication you don't need, to cause a medical problem you don't have, so you can score weed you can't afford to pay for anymore.
