Symptoms Explained

What is cottonmouth?

Cottonmouth is the sensation you get when you use cannabinoids and you are also dehydrated. Cannabinoids have a way of making the symptoms of dehydration more noticeable by drying out your mucosal membranes thereby making it nearly impossible for your body to produce enough saliva to adequately moisten your mouth.

No fear, this can actually be seen as a good thing if you were not previously aware of your body’s need for additional water. Once you’ve quenched your thirst your saliva levels will return to normal, and if they do not its a sign that you may have taken too much and be headed for a weed nap.

What is a head change?

When you use a product containing cannabinoids, whether it be an edible, a vape cart, or smoking flower a head change is what you get when you first notice the effects of cannabinoids. If you are having a rough day and have eaten an edible in an attempt to change your mindset and make the stress easier to deal with, when you begin relaxing and your mind begins to wander you are experiencing a head change. If you are trying to enjoy your day so you decided to break the mediocrity with a quick rip off of your vaporizer you will quickly begin to notice that your eyelids become heavier and your mouth begins to dry. Buckle up and grab a drink because your head change is coming in hot!

What are high eyes?

When the cannabinoids hit you a very common side effect is making your eyes become bloodshot and glossy. This is due to THC among other cannabinoids dilating the blood vessels in your eyes. This is one reason that among the first uses for medicinal cannabis was in the treatment of glaucoma. While we make no claims about the medical uses for cannabis due to its nature of being a non tested solution by the FDA, I think we can safely say that if you get high from cannabinoids there is a good chance that you will experience high eyes at some point.

This is nothing to be concerned about and it will go away given enough time. Because your eyes have a similar mucosal membrane to your mouth this is the equivalent of cottonmouth for your eyes. If this bothers you then we recommend stocking up on eyedrops as they can help reduce any of the severe effects of high eyes and allow you to continue enjoying your head change.
