Dilated eyeballs...

Does anyone know why this happens? I was wondering to myself earlier today why it happens and why the dilation seems to coincide with how hard you're tripping. ie more dilation = more tripping
anyone have any idea?

The nervous system becomes a stranger version of its normal self.
Just like someone who is going into shock.
It is more cut and dry than the "shock" scenario. The effects on your whole body last a long ass time hense the dialated pupils.
Dialated or even constricted pupils mean one thing in the medical field, and that is that "something is not right with this patient" and thats where the diagnosis starts.
With psychedelics, its all natural. It changes body chemistry greatly. The more you have changed your minds ability to moniter those more complex motor functions, the more they will reach some extreem, such as the extreem pupil dialation that occures.

Mushrooms cause your muscles to contract. That's why you can sometimes have cramps on them. The same thing happens to your pupils. The tiny muscles that regulate the size of your pupil become more tense and your pupil will dialate. Other energizing drugs do the same thing(XTC, crystal meth). Heroin on the other hand, which is a muscle relaxing drug, will make your pupils the size of a needle.

I have a question to add to this thread..
What does it mean if your pupils are VERY small?
After I tripped DXM last month, the next morning, they were very small, I was skeptical to how I was even seeing out of them...

That is common with dxm with some people that I know.
I shit you not. Your brain is freaking out and thats common after DXM use. I have met people whos pupils dialate and then shrink down at different points in the day.
That kind of dialation is obviously differnt than with the non-dissociative hallucinogens. Go figure, dissociatives fuck with your brain a good deal. (actual physical effects on the brain tissue that are observable using modern science).
Owsleys legions have alot to do with it. Small pupils are as common as dialated pupils when the right drugs are consumed...

the iris(the muscle that controls your pupil size) is like the iris of a camera it, controls how much light is let into the eye to hit the retina. if you are in an extremely bright room they get small or in absolute darkness their as big as saucers to let you have the best vision by letting more light in during darkness. but yes hes right about the neuro chemistry thing as well. thats just a little on how they work in case some of you didn't understand.
