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!"

Yowza!

Surely humanity is like grass. The grass dries up , the flowers wither, but the decree of our God is forever.

C’mon people, as much as I DETEST that woman, going blind isn’t something to wish on anyone.

I really hope she doesn’t, that this will wake her up, and make her a better person.

Yeah, I know, there’s as much a chance of that as winning the Mega Millions, but it COULD happen.

So, I’m gonna pray for her. I hope some of you will as well.

She needs Longevinex. My husband and I started on it after I read a local story about it as it’s a Las Vegas company. The FDA was harassing them. My husband had to get new glasses with a lesser prescription after taking it for 6 months. I haven’t needed a new prescription in I think 5+ years now and I noticed my eyesight also improved. My husband is 60, a commercial pilot and takes it religiously because his sight is crucial to his career. It would take too long to go into all the published material, but it does reverse macular degeneration and the FDA and big Pharma hate them because they can’t co-opt it. It goes on sale late in December. We bought a year’s supply.

‘People do stupid stuff_______’

In the world of entertainment, one needs some sort of schtick to set oneself apart from similar entertainers, and gain needed attention.
Some will do almost anything to get the public to notice and gab about them.
And what’s that other thing?
‘Whatever you print about me, for heaven’s sake, spell my name right!’

She should cover up the mirrors in her house. It will probably slow the progression of her eye disease significantly.
