    The logic, whether or not you agree with it, is that drugs in general are hazardous and can kill or disable you, and they contribute to a black market and all the related crimes of drug trafficking and addiction. So punishments aren’t for drug use but for possession and trafficking.

    Edit: to all the downvoters, I’m not advocating for draconian drug laws, I’m just answering OP’s question on why cops and lawmakers have such a policy and the logic behind it.
















  • Nice that you’re talking down to a doctor and still wrong. You belong on the confidentlyIncorrect Lemmy. And FYI I eventually had surgery to correct it; there are laser treatments and surgical peripheral iridectomy options and not just pharmacologic therapies. You’ve been wrong every step of the way here, want to keep digging?



  • Doctor here, that’s false. Glaucoma isn’t just about managing pain but reducing the intraocular pressure that is causing the pain; treating pain alone will lead to vision damage and eventual blindness. That’s why doctors still advise eye drops for treatment over marijuana even in countries where marijuana is legal.
