Roseanne Barr reveals she's going blind

Roseanne Barr has revealed that she is slowly going blind.

The comedic actress said smoking marijuana is "good medicine" for relieving the pressure in her eyes.

"It's something weird. But there are other weird things. That one's harsh, 'cause I read a lot, and then I thought, 'Well, I guess I could hire somebody to read for me and read to me.' But I like words and I like looking. You do what you have to do. I just try and enjoy vision as much as possible -- y'know, living it up.

Barr also defended her use of pot, saying, "It's expansive. It opens your mind" and "It makes you wonder. It doesn't close that down."

The actress attended the Tribeca Film Festival in support of her documentary "Roseanne for President!"

Same here. The older I get and the more bad things happen to me and loved ones the less I wish them on almost anyone.

Marijuana kills brain cells.

It’ll probably be hard to see the difference in her case.

It’s too bad actually. I’d prefer she was going dumb, and quickly.

Having had a great aunt who went blind from glaucoma, I sympathize with Barr. It doesn’t change my opinion about her in other respects (and that opinion is highly negative), but this is a tough deal.

I hope this is merely a manifestation of her on-going nuttiness rather an actual affliction. I hope she retains her sight.

Lots of people “slowly go blind,” with age.

From new world order’s point of view, that’s the great thing about new world order’s hollywood mind-control idiots.

They use their life babbling idiotic things on behalf of new world order, humiliating themselves, engaging in perversions and drugs, so no one will ever listen to them if they ever plea for help... and in the end, they usually self-destruct, leaving no trail of evidence other than a wacko sordid record laid out in tabloids.
