Can I Take Medical Marijuana With Corneal Ulcer?
Hi, Today I was diagnosed with a corneal ulcer. I am current prescribed medical marajauana for severe anxiety. Is it ok to smoke while using the drops as prescribed by my doctor? I forgot to ask him earlier. Sorry for the awkward question but I appreciate you assistance.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having corneal ulcer and you are prescribed with medical marijuana for anxiety. This can be used for anxiety treatment.
But smoking should be avoided while on treatment for corneal ulcer as smoking may interfere with the healing of the ulcer.
The treatment for corneal ulcer should include use of antibiotics and cycloplegic drugs along with oral anti-inflammatory drugs.
Thank you
