    that your eyes become red after smoking because you are having an allergic reaction?

    Nope, it has something to do with the thc doing something to the blood pressure of your eyes I think.

    It opens the blood vessels in your eyes, destricting them (it also destricts the bronchi in your lungs) which is why it is used to treat glaucoma, I believe.

    indeed this is true. we are unsure as to whetther increased pulse compensates relaxed blood vessels, or whtehr blood vessels relax to compensate increased pulse

    I don't know that "destrict" is a word, but "dilate" is, which is what happens to your blood vessels (including those in your eyes) when you smoke.

    But the glaucoma treatment is for the pressure in the eye, your eye is hollow and filled with a gel-like substance, and smoking reduces the pressure of the gell on the eye (called intraoccular pressure). I don't know the intracasies of it, but it's not the blood vessels, it's the gel stuff.

    well, trippin, its all related. weed doesnt just relax blood constricting vessels, it lowers teh pressure of all sorts of similar things. though, i thought glaucoma was when the blood vessels in the eye had too high pressure, like in the ads that say 'smoking can caus irreparable blindness' and a blood vessel in this dude's eye burst caus of too high blood pressure and restricted blood vessels.

    i think though that if its the capilaries, or the eyegoo, its all related in how the process works
