Why Does Weed Make Your Eyes Red or Bloodshot? | Weedmaps Learn

Red, bloodshot eyes are a tell-tale sign of being stoned. So why do our eyes turn red when smoking marijuana? Turns out it has little to do with the act of smoking. Grab your eye drops and follow the link to learn more about the culprit of red eyes: https://weedma.ps/RedEyes.

After consuming a cannabis-based product (flower, concentrate, edible, etc), users generally experience an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. Lower blood pressure leads to the dilation of blood vessels and capillaries, including ocular capillaries. The dilation of ocular capillaries causes increased blood flow to the eyes, which results in your eyes turning red in the process. The amount your blood pressure is lowered and how red your eyes become depends on the amount of THC you consume. The greater the concentration of THC in a cannabis product, the stronger the effects and the redder your eyes become. So, other than being a dead giveaway that you’ve recently consumed cannabis, you have no reason to be concerned about the redness of your eyes. It’s a completely natural occurrence when smoking cannabis.

    You know it’s a drug, just like crack and heroin. In the last days they’ll call right wrong and wrong right. If people was saved they would not desire to smoke weed etc. You change and have no desire to do wrong bc the evil is out and the good is in. No more hate, alcohol, cussing, you become a better and nicer person.

    Cannabis is a vasodialator decreasing bp as opposed to nicotine which constricts the vessels and is thus a vasoconstrictor increasing bp !!!

    Just as a warning, don’t use the redness relief eye drops every day. They constrict the capillaries in your eyes, and what I’ve heard is that constant use can result in your eyes getting red any time you don’t use them.

    If you just want to wet your eyes so they don’t feel scratchy some plain ol’ polyvinyl alcohol drops will get you right.

    Quitting weed within a week (without hangovers or crazy cravings), is pretty doable as long as you’re feeding your body what it needs during the process. Look, although not for everyone, you may want to try googling Nemery Thentel’s resource for a method that works for most, even if you’ve been smoking every day for years.
