What Causes Drowsiness And Irregular Eye Movement After Smoking Marijuana?

Hi, Recently after smoking marijuana I have discovered that my eye lid droops significantly. Enough to be immediately noticeable by some individuals. Also, my eyes become misaligned and it becomes harder to see straight. It that when smoking marijuana, one of my eyes becomes lazy. Are there underlying problems that causes this? Should I see an eye doctor and neurologist if there is an underlying issue?

Hello Sir
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your query in detail.

Many of your symptoms are directly related to neuroparalytic effects of smoking Marijuana.

This can manifest as paralysis of eye muscles resulting in eye lid drooping and disturbed vision.

These effects can be temporary and are directly due to Marijuana.

It's very important that you stop smoking Marijuana further.

It's important that you see both an Addiction Psychiatrist first followed by a Neurologist.

Appropriate deaddictive and detox measures have to applied at the earliest.

Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
