[Make it Hempen]

Mine don't even clear up when I do use visine or something... ahh it sucks. Yeah I've always wondered why they get red.

If you ever have to cover it up put on some aviators and claim that you're god.

hahah this thread just reminded me of a bar called the red eye..their slogan was 'come in with green eyes, get your red eyes and leave with a black eye'

i just did a search on google and this is what i found...

"Marijuana increases the amount of toxic carbon monoxide in the blood, thereby reducing the amount of oxygen reaching the heart. The typical red or bloodshot eyes of the marijuana user reflect increased blood pressure and changes in the blood vessels."

opocn-a eyedrops are good better than visine. my eyes get super red too like i havent slept for days.

[endo..jay]

my friends call my eyes 'demon eyes'

[Onelove420]

sometimes one eye is red and the other one isint is that weird....

[LightGreen]

ha its weird my eyes didnt used to get red now they get red as shit, the only thing i can do is visine or just wear a hat low or somethin

[Smoking Ganja]

yea...my eyes never get really red my pupils get big as hell though

[fatweedsack]

yeah definetly use clear eyes. visine is a piece of shit. it either takes forever to work or it takes away all of the red in you eyes except the veins. makes the veins look huge and very obvious to see. stick with clear eyes. or there is that shit that really burns whenu put it in. i dont know what its called though

[Coloonel Forbin]

Rhoto work really well... feels really good when you put them in too

[jakenthegentiles]

dude i was the same way get visine and put it in the cornor of ur eye

[69DarklotuS69]

Ya I have heard it was a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream too.

[GanjaBob]

yeah rhotos are the best they burn like a bitch at first but they work in like 30 seconds and then they feel like mints in your eyes its weird i like it though

[Troyson Likes Herb]

opcon is by far the best shit to clear ur eyes up...it makes them almost too white, its crazy...the downfall of it is that it burns for a lil bit after u put them in, but ull be happy when u look at ur eyes 2 mins later, and it also costs like 8 bucks a bottle...which is why i just steal it.

MYTH:

i just did a search on google and this is what i found...

"Marijuana increases the amount of toxic carbon monoxide in the blood, thereby reducing the amount of oxygen reaching the heart. The typical red or bloodshot eyes of the marijuana user reflect increased blood pressure and changes in the blood vessels."

TRUTH:

THC and/or other cannabinoids actually widen your blood vessels, making it easier for your heart to push the blood but forcing it to pump faster to get the blood around because the blood vessels are longer and wider. Your eyes get red because the vessels are wider and more blood is flowing through them faster. Carbon Monoxide would only be present in your blood if you're burning the weed, yet when you vapo or eat it your eyes still get red.

i thought the bloodshot eye thing was due to dehydration

[Synthesizer Man]

I've been getting a lot of red eye lately. And my eyes feel dry too!

[prplchknz]

any proof?

My eyes seem to dry out, but when I look in the mirror they get wicked shiny like they're polished. the weird thing is, my eyes get super red in the come up, but during the peak, they are not noticebly(sp) red; if i look real closely in the mirror they are, but people won't notice normaly. I use this stuff I have for my contact lenses, works like a charm.

EDIT:Oh, and be careful cuz if your sensitive to a certain type, that type can actually increase the redness (known thru exp.).

any proof?

Not about the other shit, but carbon monoxide is only found when something is being burned. It has NOTHING to DO with THC. Carbon monoxide gets in your blood when you smoke cigs too.
