Does anybody have this problem

[lockehead]

for some reason, whenever i smoke weed, one of my eyelids sort of swell up and makes me look like im really really tired or something. in the past, ive had a chalazia on that eyelid and also an acute infection. that was about ~3 years ago and its gone. But whenever i smoke my eyelid swells a bit. ive read that weed dilates the blood vessels. can this be related to what im experiencing? is this indication of any problem or is this regular? i havent seen this happen to any other people who ive smoked with.

most people look high after puffing, try some visine or something, peace

Probably related to a non threatening eye disease, of which there are several.

Search: eyelids swell, eye disease, or the always popular "I'm a freak!" lol

thc THINS BLOOD doesn't make stuff puffy makes stuff thin and flat.

You sound like a stoner
most stoners look fucked up after smoking (red puffy eyes, droopy lids)
Odds are you're geting smoke in that eye. Do you blow smoke to a fan on that side of you're face?

Stop using the gas mask pipe.

I wouldnt say that im a "stoner" .. or even close to stoner proportions. i smoke about ~.5 grams a day. and also, it doesnt affect both of my eyes, just one. and it is not the bottom eyelid, but the top one. I only smoke from a bong, or a joint or blunt, and it happens any way. this only happens when i smoke weed. if i drink, stay sober or anything else then my eyelid is fine. Ive tried eyedrops, but that only made it clearer how swollen it looks. So i take it this is not a very popular condition? i just wanted to know if anybody else has had this happen to them, and if it has, what did they do to treat it.

5 grams a day? You're a stoner, lol.

I smoke less than a gram ever second day or so, and I'm a stoner.

Be proud.

 

[lockehead]

You misread it me. i said ( . 5 ) grams lol

 

[Rosy Cheeks]

ah, decimals... sorry. But you still have the same smoking habits as me, and I concider myself a stoner

this has to do with your blood sugar levels. remember to eat something to balance your blood sugar levels after every time you smoke. srsly!

Id say if u had bad chalazia and a bad infection in that eye lid, it could also be you have a minor damage of your nerves. Letting your one eye lid hand a little more then the other, when u get stoned and relaxed, the swelling on the other hand seems odd.

Try some regula eye drops for relaxing your eyes, THC do cause dryness in your eyes and even it seems unlikely thats the reason. Swellings are useualy caused by irritations!

oh! you're a stoner alright!

worst variety too, a closet stoner in denial. Let me
guess, the first time you got caught with weed you
claimed, "It's not mine mom, I'm just holding it for
somebody else." Yeah as I recall I always gave my
bags to friends to hold, still do too.......


j/k bro.......

 

[lockehead]

lol s4l. Thanks for the replies y'all... Shit i think you guys may be right. When i smoke tonight, ill try covering the affected eye to see if the smoke is causing the swelling, and ill make sure i eat something afterwards ... i always do anyway.

I have a friend whose eyelids puff up after we smoke...he blames it on being armenian

 

[zomg1]

my eyes dont get red, but when im high my right eyelid always sags down and that right eye appears smaller than my left, its always a dead give away

Marijuana decreases pressure in the eyes and increases blood flow. When this happens, the arteries in the eye-ball expand (due to decreased pressure). These areteries, especially when expanded, are visible in the white portion of the eye and make the eye appear "bloodshot" or red.
This very result (decrease of pressure in the eye) is the primary reason marijuana is used to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma is the condition where there is excessive pressure in the eye. In some patients, the pressure can become so severe that it causes damage to the retinal nerve, ultimately damaging the patient's vision. Marijuana decreases this pressure.


its this or some cronic eye problem!

When I smoke ECSD my left eye twitches and squints involuntarily ... No other weed has done this to me ... and I've tried a few different weeds in my days.

Vasodilation from the THC combined with vascular irregularities from previous conditions accounts for the unilateral swelling.

 

[sheshe]

Omg yes I do too!!!! I've been trying to find someone else with this problem & no else has it! I have no idea how to treat it...it didn't start happening until after I had pink eye.
