Is Smoking Marijuana Safe While Suffering From Hyphema?
I was diagnosed with a hyphema (cause from getting whipped in the eye with a charger cord ) the pressure in my eye isn’t stable. Monday it was extremely bad measuring at 54 but today when I got checked (Friday) it was 19 yesterday made it a week since my injury. My bestfriend wants to go out and have fun and smoke marijuana ...is that a good idea ?

Hello,
Hyphema is always followed by blunt injury. Cold compression can be applied. There is no treatment for hyphema. It is self limiting, slowly it gets absorbed and color changes and it faints.
It is not a good idea since it causes addiction and hallucination now you have to consult deaddiction clinic for proper counseling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
