Been doing some research about the topic and I am coming across many myths, anyone knows the medical facts of cannabis induced "redeyes"?
I thought it was because the cannabis opened the blood vessels in the eyes by increased blood pressure.
Heard something about this a while back.
Almost right......
It’s Not the Smoke from a Joint That Makes Your Eyes Red
The familiar red and glassy-eyed stare of someone who’s high was previously thought to be due to the irritation of eyes by pot smoke. But, now we know that weed makes your eyes red for the same reason it makes you dizzy- vasodilation. Marijuana has a lot of active ingredients...www.mcgill.ca

Marijuana’s has a lot of active ingredients. Tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) is only one of the many (>113) cannabinoids present in cannabis. These compounds interact with cannabinoid receptors, which are part of the endocannabinoid system. They’re found throughout your body, notably, in your eyes.
Cannabinoids bind to cannabinoid receptors and induce the dilation, or widening, of the blood vessels. This increases the blood flow to these areas and causes an overall decrease in blood pressure. The increasedblood flow to your eyeball causes the red appearance, and the lowered blood pressure causes the dizziness.
You can test it yourself, by consuming marijuana through a non-smoked method and looking for reddening of your eyes.
Well explained mi
Def makes sense and down the point but also won’t confuse anyone. Thanks for the information
I’ve always thought it was because your stoned:)
Sleepy eye stoned:)Are you pissed off angry stoned. So mad you eyes are red?
Or is some crazy stoned bastard giving you the evil eye?
Careful when dealing with the devil’s lettuce. ;-)

Yes thats actually one of the myth/truths I foundI was always curious of the biological reasoning of this as well. Always thought it was to do with getting smoke in the eyes but even when you don’t get smoke in your eyes, they inevitably turn red!
