It was obvious to me for a long time that cannabis is a vasodilator, that is, it expands your blood vessels. This was because it turned your eyes red, and looking closely one can see the blood vessels themselves on the eyeball are visibly swollen. This vascular expansion is also responsible for the ‘munchies.’ As more blood is delivered to the stomach, it starts churning, producing acids, in anticipation of incoming food. If that food is not quickly forthcoming, hunger motivates us to find it.
The increase in blood supply provided by regular cannabis ingestion, even if only twice a week, coupled with the beneficial effects of a workout, followed by hot water immersion, facilitates blood flow to the retina, maintaining the health of the existing vessels. If that’s not enough, the VGF inhibitory property, (proven, published and peer reviewed) goes a step further and protects you from any additional vascularization that might possibly occur.
Regardless of your feelings concerning cannabis, this plant could prevent diabetic blindness from now on, eradicating one of the main causes worldwide of loss of eyesight. It needs to be investigated as do the anticarcinogenic properties of this amazing plant.
