about 2-3 hours for me, even when im ot high but i would deff reccomend sheelin up 3 dollars 4 sum vyzene dude, u can get it at most co fairs and such 2 drops in each eye will keep them crystally white for up to 5 hour after smokin

Same with me too dude. and on the rare occasion that they do her red. I either have allergies that day of an eye infection

The downside to using drops though, is that use of vasoconstrictors has been shown to increase the risk of a whole host of eye problems later in life.

Not 100% but that was only just for the visine brand.

Yea, it's just for Visine. Just buy some artificial tears or whatever they're called, they work just as well, and don't mess up your eyes

[spaceman46&2]

To put it more plainly, you don't want anything that is marketed as a redness reducer (a vasoconstrictor). Antihistamine drops are fine, but stay away from drops that use naphazoline Hcl, tetrahydrozaline Hcl and phenylephrine Hcl - and that doesn't just include Visine, but pretty much all of the Clear Eyes drops, Naphcon, and any others marketed for red eyes. Get the drops intended for allergies, which use pheniramine maleate. They don't work as quickly, or as effectively, but they won't increase your risk of developing glaucoma or conjunctival xerosis (dry eye), or if you use redness removing drops too frequently, the rebound effect, where your eyes will be even more red than they were before you applied the drops after they wear off.

Honestly my eyes are rarely ever noticeably red. They're always just super glazed.

[pablo420]

same here my eyes dont get red just glazed.

[Bleezie_King]

after a while you won't even get the red eyes anymore.

but yeah just get some visine bro. only sets ya back like 5 bucks.
