This means consumers will likely notice red & itchy eyes and dilated pupils when they take a delta-8-rich product. The severity of your eye symptoms will largely depend on your delta-8 tolerance and dosage. Some studies also suggest certain people have unique genes that may make them more susceptible to THC side effects like red eyes.On a positive note, many scientists believe these THC relatives po...
