Wierd, eyes dont get red when smoking weed since 7 gram trip

Well Friday I ate 1/4 of mushies (first experience with shrooms)and while tripping smoked 4 bowls after not smoking for 4 days. Usually after such abstinence my eyes would be fucked. However, even while tripping they didn't look stoned. Now even when I'm in my usually smoking habits (2-4 times a day)my eyes get red like once a day. Ever since my eyes haven't gotten red. It's confusing as hell.

i believe reddening has to do with thc affecting the pre-frontal cortex located in the region behind your eyes and the resulting increased blood flow. but hey dont quote me on that because i dont retain information very well.
i do know that ive smoked daily for the past few years and my eyes havent gotten red from smoking once in at least the last two. i guess that might mean my brain isnt working right maybe? i dont know go figure

i usually get a pale, skinny face on shrooms (at the end of the trip, during the trip it turns red and puffy) my eyes get huuge probably your eyes didn't look as red, because they were so huuge and the huuge eyes thing...it remains for some time after the trip (can be hours, can be days, can be weeks, can be months, can be years) maybe you just don't notice your eyes getting red, because they are so huuuge

When i used to smoke heaps my eyes stopped going so red. My friends who still do, there eyes dont seem to go red either, where as when i now smoke they go really blood shot. Weed is actually good for the eyes, and the reddness is something to do with the effect it has, im not sure exactly what it does, but erowid has info on it. I think the reason it stops happening when you smoke alot is that it has already happened from your many previous smokes, kind of like the effect has been worn out. I know...poorly expressed, im preety tired atm, but check out erowid if you really want to know.

Your eyes go red when stoned because the capillaries and blood vessels inside the eyes are dilating. It's a physical side effect of cannabis. It's interesting to note that after prolonged use many cannabis smokers cease to get red eyes after smoking. I always figured that it was the body adjusting to the cannabis by inhibiting the eyes from getting red, but there is technically no evidence to back this up. Anyone else have any input? This is actually kind of interesting and something that I have been thinking about lately.

when I used to smoke not only would my eyes go red, the area around my eyes would get red too. They'd feel warm and puffy which was kind of nice. I bet you're right MorphMan...I think the body eventually becomes used to it and it just doesn't happen anymore. Also you're sig picture is perfect.

This is what I have heard as well. Something about THC being a vasodilator...
This is from Wikipedia, for whatever it's worth "Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the major active chemical in marijuana. Its mild vasodilating effects redden the eyes of cannabis smokers."

when i'm stoned, my eyes get red like hell, the entire white area of my eyes is like this color  I used to think it was because I wear contact lenses but I get them just as bad when i don't wear lenses.. It kinda sucks because I look very ugly with such red eyes lol

I have also heard that the redness is caused by dehydration, which would go along with what Alion said. Is there any real proof either way?
