can Smoking Pot cause circles under eyes?

Unearth · 08-05-2007, 03:56 PM

I have been smoking pot for about 5 years now and I just began noticing that I tend to have large dark circles under my eyes.. I have even been asked a few times if I had a black eye before..! Can this be related to smoking pot? or the drowsiness that comes with chiefin it up?

vitamin deficiency? Hows your diet?

Unearth · 08-05-2007, 04:28 PM

I eat really healthy for the most part, but sometimes im just not that hungry and will eat maybe one thing all day (usually fast food).. but for weeks ill eat all sorts of fruits and grain and meats ...

Go to bed earlier than you do. That is the most probable reason.

highanddry · 08-05-2007, 06:40 PM

Also try dropping the meth.. ha jp

yeah i get em, try nivea for men revitalizing under eye cream ... you can get it at walgreens

dark circles under eyes will be a result of the lack of vitamin K. Vitamin k will not work for circles in a topical cream, it must be ingested. You might want to try upping your dark leafy green intake.

I have been smokin since the 60's. Grow my own and smoke every single day, no circles under my eyes. It's not the pot, Darlin'.

i dont think anyone on here has a problem getting enough greens... heh

jayskip45 · 04-10-2008, 07:19 PM

Got the circles, eating Spinach at every meal (also eating slightly fatty things as I just found out Vitamin K is fat soluble. Using the aforementioned Nivea Product. I quit for a week and they kinda dissipated but returned immediately upon continuation. Any advice? Besides quitting, although it's looking like that might be the only way.

highanddry · 04-19-2008, 05:01 PM

cigarettes can do it for sure.

ryan1900 · 07-24-2008, 11:25 PM

I don't think smoking pot can cause circles under eyes. May be it happens due to some vitamin deficiency. If you waste your time in midnight without sleeping also can create such issues. Anyway its a nice forum. Wish to see more related issues in later postings.

Yeah... I don't think it's the weed. I have them too but I haven't smoked weed in a while now. LOL... still hang out at Yahooka. I'm still a hippy.

Hey, the vit. K idea is good. I'm going to do that and drink more water to flush any toxins. But part of it is probably just life.

You could always try the cucumbers over the eyelids.

If smoking pot or cigarettes is causing your breathing to be bad, it can cause the dark circles under your eyes.

Ditto...except for the growing part. But I do get my weed straight from the grower.

Usually, the causes of dark under-eye rings:
(A) Nutritional deficiency/poor diet
(B) Stress and fatigue
(C) Genetics

I would assume it to be one of these factors over a side effect of using marijuana.

Really? Never noticed.

Vik*star* · 08-19-2008, 08:42 PM

My mate has dark circles. He had it b4 smoking weed as well but after starting weed; its much worse for him. He doesn't do any other drugs. Maybe its heredity, you just didn't notice it before and weed made it worse. If its genetic; I don't fink any cream will help. He tried many creams but nothing worked and he's so fucked up cuz he could have buyed so much weed instead. Oh whateva. If you like smoking smoke it; if you are too conscious stop smoking.

SpankyMcLankey · 08-21-2008, 07:52 PM

When I was a freshman I was pushed in the hallway by this kid for no fucking reason. I was so confused.. He was a Jr at the time, and I was bigger than most senors then.

I turned around to punch him in the face, but then I noticed he had HUGE black and purple sacks under his eyes. Then I was like, holly shit and just kinda walked away. I was confused at first because it was almost disgusting, but I saw him the next year and he never had them any more. He had them for the rest of the year though at least.
