I believe the actual toxicology of cannabis is very difficult to achieve in the first place...something like a 150 pound person 1500 pounds of cannabis smoked or ingested within 15 minutes...not gonna happen for anyone. Not even jesus could do that.

I have had laser surgery on my left eye and am scheduled for it on my right at the end of the month because of Glaucoma. Glaucoma is simply "elevated eye pressure". I had a reaction to a topical steroid which had caused a slight bit of permanent damage and an elevated pressure which caused a tempoary loss of vision.

Redness and reduced pressure are not directly related, ie red eyes have nothing to do with lower eye pressures. I smoke daily and never get red eyes. There are numerous factors that can attribute to "elevated eye pressure". Furthermore, it is not blood that builds up pressure but more of a water substance.

Think of the eye as a sink. Water is on, drain is draining. With glaucoma, you could have a clogged drain, or a faucet that is on "too much" ie overflowing=high pressure. I am not sure if weed "slows down the water" or "unclogs the drain"....

My eye Dr. told me I have really big pupils...

well ok ok mate im no doc beleive me i was just putting a reply to what it described glycoma as on that site, but you have it so i geuss you know the ins and outs much better then me,.

but i do know for FACT that red eye is the blood vessels enlarging, cos of the vein wall un-contracting (un-tightening) due to muscle relaxing properties,

like the Tens machine people use on the viens on the sides of the head and back of the neck it send small electonic impulses via sticky pads these impulses sends a small shock to the viens,. and as its a small electric shock it just makes the vein walls relax and open up thats why i thought it would aid err....drainage lol, but yeah




duude like that was soo drainage! :stoned:
