Aside from sporadic bursts of laughter and an overwhelming appetite, another side effect of smoking Cannabis is red eyes. Why do eyes get red from smoking weed? Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, or more commonly known as THC, is a psychoactive cannabinoid which decreases blood pressure. When blood pressure is decreased, the arteries and veins dilate themselves to allow for a faster blood flow. THC decreases intraocular pressure, allowing the blood vessels of the eye to expand and surface. This is what gives your eyes that bloodshot look. This is another reason why consuming Cannabis is a great way to treat Glaucoma.
Some other factors that could play into the red eyes could be due to smoke irritation, or Cannabis allergies, due to small pollen release. Though, if it is an allergy, more symptoms will be present such as hives, swelling, or itchy skin. Most of the pot consuming population does not suffer from weed allergies, as it only affects a small group of people.
Ridding your eyes of that glassy pink hue is very easy to do. If you need white eyes in a hurry, try using over-the-counter eye drops specifically engineered to reduce red eyes. These, for the most part, are affordable and fast acting. If you’re looking for top of the line eye drops then I highly recommend Rohtos. These drops will blow any competitor out of the water. These saved my ass all throughout high school and jobs.

Keeping yourself hydrated will also help out with the redness reduction. If you have the time, just ride it out. Once the effects of the THC begin to wear off, your veins will begin to retract from the surface of your eyes, returning them to their normal white color.
