Marijuana is a natural alternative medicine that has been increasing in popularity year after year. Its healing properties and mild side effects allow people to get back to doing things they love.
Although cannabis has much less severe side effects than opioids, narcotics, and other prescription medication, there are still some things to watch out for. The most common side effects for marijuana include:
Dry mouth
Increased appetite
Fatigue
Red/dry eyes
Red eyes can be annoying to deal with, but don’t worry! There are a couple of tips and tricks you can use to get rid of redness quickly.
Why Do Our Eyes Get Red After Smoking?
THC is the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis and it is responsible for the “high” many users describe. It is also responsible for redness in the eyes after use. Many people believe that redness in the eyes is due to smoke irritation, but that is not the case.
THC increases heart rate as well as blood pressure and flow. Our blood vessels widen when the THC is absorbed into our bodies, making them more visible and red. How red your eyes get depend on many factors including:
Blood pressure
Weight
Gender
How frequently you use cannabis
Your eyes will not get as red if you use cannabis frequently or heavily because your body will metabolize it better and react to the THC a bit differently. First time users are much more likely to experience “high eyes”.
How to Get Rid of Red Eyes
Luckily, getting rid of red eyes from smoking is pretty quick and easy. The redness you experience in your eyes will decrease over time if you start using cannabis regularly. Using strains of cannabis with less THC may also help with redness.
Eye drops or artificial tears may help relieve dry or red eyes after cannabis use. Rewetting your eyes can be very effective for helping with redness, and it typically works pretty quickly.
If you don’t want to use eye drops, you can also apply a warm or cold compress to your eyes. This will increase your blood flow and should help with redness as well.
