  • The link buddy shared above that started this entire discussion says lasik is a solution to presbyopia….

    If you are an older adult considering LASIK, you might choose to have monovision to maintain your ability to see objects close up. With monovision, one eye is corrected for distant vision, and the other eye is corrected for near vision. Not everyone is able to adjust to or tolerate monovision. It’s best to do a trial with contact lenses before having a permanent surgical procedure.

    Why are you saying the exact opposite of what was linked? Got a source to back this claim up?



  • The link literally states you can get it later in life

    So the link buddy provided quite literally says your statement is factually incorrect. This is under the section for over 40 and that decease, maybe read the link like buddy said I should lmfao.




  • In October 2009, the FDA, the National Eye Institute (NEI), and the Department of Defense (DoD) launched the LASIK Quality of Life Collaboration Project (LQOLCP) to better understand the potential risk of severe problems that can result from LASIK. The project’s goal was to develop a tool for determining the percent of patients who develop difficulties performing usual activities following LASIK, and to identify predictors for those patients.

    The technology is leaps and bounds better than it was 15 years ago, got anything modern?

    And the risk of your eyes getting worse with glasses and contacts is worse than that, your eyes can’t get better without mechanical intervention, and glasses WILL deteriorate your vision further. It’s 100% with glasses and contacts.



  • Every procedure has that risk, even a routine vaccination or stitches, strange reason to pay for glasses and contacts forever.

    There are people who legitimately can’t get the surgery, but that’s obviously not who’s being discussed here.

    What’s the ratio on people being worse of for vision after? Cant make a claim like that and not provide some data.

    Glasses and contacts also don’t fix the issue and can lead to worse vision too, so arguably that’s non-factor in a discussion like this anyways.

    LASIK is the only chance to have a permanent fix. It’s a very important factor to consider, above and beyond the complications, that are also applicable to the glasses and contacts. I’ve not heard of many people’s vision getting better by their continual use.










  • It’s due to when you harvest the plant.

    The longer you let the plant go, the more THC degrades into CBN which is what makes people relaxed. Sativas typically flower longer and take longer for the THC to degrade, so sativas typically lead to a creative high.

    But it’s entirely down to harvest time, and yes there is a vast difference in the effects between THC and CBN. Cloudy trichomes = THC and Amber = CBN, let a plant go until it’s 100% amber and you won’t be moving after consuming.

    So to answer OP find edibles that are fully THC and avoid CBN, or find some flower that’s not too amber and make your own. Thats kinda the only options, you don’t know what type of trichomes edibles are made from, some list the CBN quantity, but not all.
