Dry eyes

I have noticed that my eyes get dry sometimes too

My eyes are pretty sensitive to the effects of cannabis I've noticed. It's not as bad now after smoking for a few years but when I first started my eyes would have NO moisture and they would turn BEET red. I needed to use eyedrops when smoking around people because people would always freak out about it lmao. I've never seen anyone elses eyes get as red as mine used to. Without eyedrops I just looked ridiculous, like i just smoked an entire pound of dank after just 1 bowl ahaha, and my eyes would practically hurt from being so dry. I could "feel" the redness of my eyes like I could tell how red they were just by what they felt like. Splashing water sort of made them feel better but eye drops work the best since thats what they're actually meant for.
 
Anyways, to answer your question. YES. Marijuana does dry your eyes out.

 

The smoke contacting your eyes can contribute to dry eyes.

 

I believe it raises blood pressure, therefore expanding the blood vessels in your eyes and making them red. But I could be wrong

Cannabis actually lowers your blood pressure. The reason your eyes get red is because cannabis causes your body to relax and your blood vessels dilate allowing more blood to flow through them easier, lowering overall blood pressure. This increased blood flow is what causes red eyes.
 
I don't know the exact reason cannabis makes your eyes dry out but I figure it might be something to do with the smoke itself rather than the weed.

 

Ahh I actually think it might lower your blood pressure. It speeds up your heart rate and I always connect that with higher blood pressure

 

It's one of the most common symptoms of marijuana man. Just as that guy^ said, let it be. 
 
 

 

What do you mean of course it makes your eyes dry

 

Mine always get quite dry, even when I vape though, so it's not smoke.

 

Mine have always gone bright red, could never hide it from the old dear haha. eye drops are a winner but not certain why it happens

 

Rohto Eye Drops! Dun

 

To those that say it is from smoke, obviously does not use edibles! I do not smoke, I make canna oil capsules that I use to control chronic back problems, pain, and inflammation. I take a large dose every night. I wake up around 2 am every morning baked out of my mind and my eyes look like I put red food coloring in them haha. So no it is not from the smoke, rather one (or a combination) of the cannabinoids. Which one(s) exactly, I am not sure. I was curious of this as well. I am almost positive it is not solely the THC. I used to use high CBD and would get red eyes as well even though I was not high.

Bottom line, it's no worry, it happens. Either put up with it or use eye drops and you will be fine. Nothing harmful about having your eyes bloodshot from cannabis. If anything, it would be a good thing I assume since it has a positive effect on eye problems like glaucoma.

I'm in a similar situation, I have dry/red eyes and eye irritation problems even when I'm sober (I use eyedrops even when sober) so when I smoke weed my eyes get insanely red. So red you can barely see any white when you look at them. 
 
I envy those who can smoke without looking stoned. I look stoned when I'm sober. I look INSANELY stoned when I'm stoned.
