Heroin pupil dilation

[not_the_droids]

You can't just take pupil dilating eye drops to counteract opiate pupil constriction. From memory these are often atropine, scopolamine or some other anticholinergic (I think?)

If I remember correctly atropine and scopolamine are both RX only. While you could get atropine from a regular doc for something like stomach ulcers it would not be the concentration you would want to put in your eyes. Every other eye drop medication to dialiate the pupils would only be prescribed by a optometrist.
There is really no hiding constricted pupils on an opioid, its a dead give away and there are really no medical conditions that cuase it other than Horner's syndrome which is a rare nervous system disorder and it would cause near constant constriction.

Doing this sort of thing seems like a gamble with complications and eye problems. Is it really worth risking, in order to hide your use from people?
Seems unsafe.

If it wasn't already obvious, was definitely not trying to get that taken seriously, just a completely random idea to throw out there after i heard that it essentially wasn't possible, the main question is whether it's practical, which is not what i was going for hahaha

I had no idea this was a problem til I read the post about blue eyes.
And to think I used to wish I had any color other than brown eyes... hah
