The term “high eyes” refers to the appearance of dilated pupils, redness, and a generally glassy or glazed look in the eyes. This physical manifestation is often associated with the effects of cannabis or other intoxicating substances. These visible characteristics can result from the substance’s impact on the nervous system and blood vessels in the eye. For example, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to the reddened appearance.
Reducing the visibility of this condition can be beneficial for individuals seeking to avoid unwanted attention or maintain a professional appearance. Historically, concealing the physical signs of intoxication has been important for individuals in various social and professional settings. The perceived implications range from personal discretion to maintaining credibility in the workplace. Methods employed often focus on addressing the specific physiological effects that cause the characteristic appearance.
