DO EDIBLES CAUSE RED EYES?

EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF THC ON EDIBLES

Ever wondered if those munching on edibles can still end up with red eyes? The last thing you want is to be caught with telltale signs.
Whether you’re making the switch from smoking or just curious about edibles, it’s crucial to understand the connection between THC
and red eyes.

TO CUT TO THE CHASE:

Yes, edibles can indeed make your eyes red, but it hinges on a crucial factor—THC content. If your edibles, like Delta 9 or Delta 10 gummies,contain THC, you might still experience the classic red-eye phenomenon.Surprisingly, it’s not the smoke causing it; rather, it’s the THC.Regardless of the ingestion method, THC tends to dilate capillaries,leading to increased blood flow to the eyes.

BUT HOW LONG CAN YOU EXPECT THESE RED EYES TO LINGER?

Typically, it lasts anywhere from 1-2 to 3-4 hours post-consumption.Keep in mind that individual factors, such as body chemistry and strain differences, can influence this timeframe.Delving into the science behind it, THC binds to CB1 receptors in the brain and eyes, inducing vasodilation in the eye’s blood vessels. This increased blood flow results in the characteristic pearance.

CONCERNED ABOUT RED EYES? FRET NOT. THERE ARE WAYS TO MITIGATE THE REDNESS: OVER-THE-COUNTER EYE DROPS:

Utilize OTC eye drops containing vasoconstrictor molecules like tetryzoline to reduce blood vessel dilation.

CAFFEINE

Consider caffeine as a natural alternative to eye drops, as it shares vasoconstrictive properties. Coffee, tea, cola, or energy drinks can
be effective.

COLD COMPRESS:

Embrace a natural approach with a cold compress or splashing cold water on your face. This helps constrict peripheral blood vessels,
reducing redness.

OPT FOR LOW-THC STRAINS:

Choosing edibles with lower THC concentrations, such as Delta 8, can help minimize the likelihood of red eyes.
