Hey guys, can anyone explain why your eyes turn red when you get high on cannabis? I always thought it was the smoke, but maybe it's the THC itself? Is there a quick way to get rid of this effect if you want to look "normal"?

That’s right—it’s not the smoke that’s the problem, it’s the way THC affects blood vessels. It causes the capillaries in your eyes to dilate, which increases blood flow to them, which gives them a red tint. And if your eyes are also dry, it only makes things worse. The good news is: it’s not permanent.

If you’re looking to look a little fresher, try these quick and easy ways to relieve your high eyes. Read more in the article: https://unitedrecoveryproject.com/rehab-blog/high-eyes/ . The United Recovery Project blog explains that the most effective methods include using over-the-counter eye drops that constrict blood vessels, applying a cold compress to your eyelids, and staying hydrated—water helps reduce dryness and helps flush out THC. The high can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 4-6 hours, depending on your body and dose, but these simple tricks can really help relieve your symptoms.
