Dilated Pupils

Does anyone know why this happens while tripping? The other night I noticed it for the first time, I never knew this happened and I've tripped quite a few times. Why does this happen?

I'm not sure, someone might have a definitie answer.
I am thinking along the lines of the drugs causes the brain to think you are in a dark environment, as the pupils normally become large due to lack of light (letting in as much light as possible).
Anyone else got any other ideas?

Halluciogens affect the adrenergic neurotransmitters which are an active players in many of your body's smaller involuntary muscles funtions and homoestasis agents. Interference with these neurotransmitters acutely affects sweat and and siliva excretion, body temp regulation, blood pressure, heart rate and mydriasis (pupil function and control).

I met a belgian guy once who solved that problems by ALWAYS wearing sunglasses. Just ask for a nice pair sunglasses for christmas or something and wear them all the time. People will think you're odd but you'll never get busted for fat pupils or redeye.

Just say "Cos it makes me look cool, something *you* wouldn't know about." Even though you know you must look like a bell top.
I have been busted by parents (and even arrested now ) they're pretty much past caring about a bit of red eye. Funnily enough, nutmeg was the worst...I could barely sit up at dinner.
Family dinners are the bane of all young stoners with concerned parents.

haha I have done nutmeg 3 times now.
First time was great fun, took a bit too much (i thought, come on it's only nutmeg, whats the worst it can do), shivering, sweating, nausea, munchies, dry mouth...I actually enjoyed that sketchy stage, just the right level of screwed upness.
then just stoned for 2 days it seemed.
Lowering the dose removed all the bad side effects except munchies (but I wouldn't call that bad as long as you have lots of food to munch out on) and dry mouth (wake up next day almost choking for a drink)
If there's enough interest I could write up full trip reports but I doubt there is...

I love how dilated pupils look.
I've seen people's pupils get the size of buttons while on marijuana, but the largest pupil dilation I've seen was when my friend was tripping on belladonna.

Or you could buy those colored contacts that are the same color as your eyes, then it wont appear that your pupils are dilated.

OR MAYBE TRIPPING IN THE PROPER SETTING WHERE PARENTS AREN'T AROUND?!
Come on... don't put your parents through that. If they are concerned about smoking pot, imagine what they'd think if they knew you were eating psychedelics? And just knowing that they were around could surely be a nagging thought when you are tripping...

"Family dinners are the bane of all young stoners with concerned parents."
God...2 weeks ago I took an 8th of some homegrown Cubes and 3 hours after i ate em i had to go home. When I got home it was 6:00 and dinner was ready, so I stumbled my way to the table and started eating. The mushrooms hurt my stomache real bad so every bite i took i felt like i was going to throw up all over the table. I Kept thinking my dad knew I was totally fucked over, but it turned out neither he my sister or my stepmom ever had a fucking clue.

I had large pupils after going to the eye doctor. I was in the mall and i had like a hour or two befor my drive come for me.
Well my mind was fine but i neerly had no color left in my iris ,people would look at me in the funny way i felt insulted.
But wile tripping you cant get the bad thought in your head, people are looking at me, i gonna get busted and other nasty things.

Yah, i planned a trip and thought it would be over in 6 hours, but for some reason it lasted more like 8 hours, and i had to go home. My friends went to the hospital (long story) so they sent a police lady to my house to talk to me, and my pupils were FUCKING huge and both my mom and the police lady could see that. scary shit. All throught the interview my brother was motioning to me to look into the light so that they would... un...dialate. needles to say it didnt work.

I'm pretty sure this isn't the real reason but I like to believe it
In science we learned how your eyes dilate when you're happy or see something you like. Well I dunno about you guys but I sure do enjoy rolling and like what I see tripping

Once my eyes dilated to different sizes.
xtc eye is the worst ijmpossible too hide.
A good solution to eye cover would be a set of contacts with a different colour which would thus cover any opupil dilation but not red eye

I think eye doctors sell this chemical from this plant that gets your pupil super dialated. Its what they use to check your eyes. But im sure they will sell it over the counter . It would be cool having dialated pupils every night .

usually when my eyes dilate because of drugs ones a little bit bigger than the other. for some reason my pupils always look dilated so people dont really notice when theyre dilated because of drugs. it gets kinda crazy though, my iris pretty much completely disappears. my girlfriend got creeped out one time because of it, she thought it meant there was something wrong.
on another note, for some reason i thought your eyes dilated on opiates, but mine always get to be pinholes, just wondering why...

My eyes are always pin holes the morning after trips. And they usually hurt like I slept with my eyes open or something.

Hey, theshiftingwalls,
The stuff the eye doctor uses to dilate your pupils IS a legal chemical (although, I don't think it's sold otc). It's called Atropine, and is made by several various plants, including Atropa Belladonna, and most Daturas (which are basically weeds).
I grew some of it, and made some drops one time. It works, it COMPLETELY relaxes your iris (your pupils become as large as is possible), but, it also relaxes your Lens (which sux), so you can only really focus well on things that are about 2 feet in front of you.

is there a si ilar muscle that could be used to tense the eyes muscles and thus reduce pie eye? this wouldnt work for shrooms i think as im assuming ur pupils going wide is what makes you see things but it would be useful to destroy pill eye. Correct me if any of the above is wrong

no one really notices. if they do, shrug an say "really?" come on now, only folks that can tell are cops and oh.... parents who know what dilated pupils mean 'cause they tripped their asses off in the 60's or 70's.

Yeah... right... I would've been spared a lot of distress in the past if only hippy parents knew that dilated pupils spelled drug use.
Nearly everyone knows dilated pupils are a sign that you're bent up on something.
Your parents could be quakers and still say "are you on drugs?" if your eyes are just gleaming pools of blackness... it's a dead giveaway...
BTW--those eyedrops probably wouldn't be safe to use recreationally--the eyedoctor is supposed to give you special sunglasses to use until your pupils constrict back to their normal size. So you'd probably end up with cataracts or burnt out retinas or something along those lines if you were putting in those drops all the time. Not fun.
