We thank Norooznezhad et al1 for sharing their medical hypothesis regarding the potential role of cannabinoids as a possible treatment for choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM). They present an intriguing mechanism via suppression of pro-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic factors. As outlined in our review, the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids have not been comprehensively evaluated. We look forward to further elucidation of the potential role of cannabinoids as anti-angiogenic agents.2
