Is it time to take a Break from puffing?

[moospis]

Hi all- Ive been a faithful enjoyer and purveyor of weed for about 30 years. This is the problem.. I have developed bags under my eyes, I believe, from the thc clogging my tear ducts. If I quit puffing for a couple of days it starts to go away but I cannot help myself and start puffing again. Does anybody have any remedies for taking the puffiness and redness away without putting away the smoke? I have heard of silver nitrate but have not tried it. Help!!:stoned:

That's interesting. I have only half your experience so don't suffer with this.

Basics: Is it a recurring eye infection or similar, have you seen the doc?

Is it linked to red-eye from blood vessels when you are high? Or is it the smoke?

If the smoke is the problem then go buy a vaporizer right now! Try vaping pure thc and see how that works.

But for crying out loud don't give up! j/k

I can only recommend products like this : http://www.everyonedoesit.co.uk/onli...ProductID=3407

You want something gentle.

I still recommend vaporizing - at least try it out I'm biased as I have a volcano

Good luck

thanks for the advice delta9 you know maybe im allergic to weed because a lot of times when i start smoking i can feel it burn under my eyes and and as soon as i take even a day off it starts to get better.

No problem

Seriously though take a look at a vaporizer - it actually saves you weed - it goes much further. Pays for itself in the long run. You can even bake with the vaped weed and extract a little more thc.

All without smoke.

Maybe try cooking with it to see if it has the same effect. It could be lots of things - and I'm no Doc

I would take a break if you can, A tollerance break for a couple weeks will be soo rewarding, man you be soo high again. Im currently taking a tollerance break right now and im on Day 11. I am exerising every day heavily which helps take your mind away from it plus it helps detox you much quicker.

I just picked up a volcano, got it used though for a really good price but it is well worth it. At one point I would never consider buying one untill I started using them at the clubs, I would say it is better then my PHX trinity which is hard for me to say but it gets me ripped and is soo clean.

Agree 100% I tried one first time in Amsterdam and bought one as soon as I got back into the UK. I will still occassionally smoke but its Volcano time mostly :dance: .

hey everybody thanks for the info on the vaporizers but that doesnt seem to address my problem with the red baggy eyes. What I need is an eye cream or something like that maybe i think a volcano would be cool but does that take away the harshness of the weed?

A lot of times when I have baggy, red eyes, it's from allergies. I had that reaction when I smoked weed, and I have it in response to nearly every other sort of weed and grass, too. Just my wacky immune system.

A mild antihistamine will help the allergic reaction itself, easing some of the itching. You can use an anti-redness/anti-allergy eye drop to ease the actual eye-related itching. I have good luck with drops called Opthcon-A. Make sure you're well hydrated and drinking plenty of clear fluids so you're producing plenty of tears themselves and your body's not having a puffy response because it's desperate to hold onto fluid. And for the puffy eye bags themselves, several tried-and-true anti-puff remedies are cucumber slices, which are cool and soothing. Also cut-open sections of aloe vera plant, if you have one of those, are soothing and gentle. One of those cooling plastic gel-filled eye masks you put in the fridge is good. And camomile tea bags soaked in cool water and squeezed out before they're applied as compresses work great, too.
