I have elevated pressure in my eye.  When I asked about the benefits of Marijuana for reducing the pressure, the surgeon said that the pressure is reduced only during the "high" periods when the drug is active.  I would be unable to drive or "operate heavy machinery" unless I chose to let the high wear off and the pressure in my eye increase. 
 
I agree that there are benefits, but to achieve them, would you give up driving? Operating heavy machinery?
