Seriously though man. Doctor's office is definitely the place to go, and not the stoners on riu. I'm barely a weed Dr let alone a humanoid dr.

Well, I haven't smoked any weed today, and the headache hasn't even really started today

I've noticed drinking fresh orange juice really helps

I had a day last week without a headache, and the only difference was I drank a shit load of fresh OJ

So I've drank 1.3ltr of the stuff, and I'm doing alright for a change

I've booked in for a 3d scan of my eyes, so I can rule that pit before I go to the doctors with head pain

Cheers

I would give up coffee way before I gave up weed. In fact that's what I did, I've been caffeine free for years and my headaches are down drastically!

Watch that sugar intake though, OJ and fruit juice has more sugar than most sodas. Awesome man, feel things out & do what works for you.

Tried edibles yet to see if you get a similar effect?

My friend, i have a similar problem with my right eye because of dirty weed. It started slowly and progressed over a year. Now it's been 2 years and it's a bit better, but i have chronic issues with my eye.
It started with my eyelid flickering and being droopy, then i felt pressure behind the eye and temple. Then i started having extreme pain in the eye and the right side of my head. It hurt so much that i woke up in the middle of the night and i cried in agony, i had an urge to hit my head on the wall. I thought my head and eye were going to explode, and i was afraid of going blind. Over time the pain reduced, but i had all kinds of different problems. Blurred vision, couldn't move my eye properly, the blood veins in my eye would get red and inflamed and it felt like having needles or sand in the eye. It's still sensitive to this day.

This only happened from smoking a certain kind of weed, which i believe it was dirty with pesticides, fungicides or something else, maybe laced with synthetic THC or something.. Usually this weed had a very strong smell that makes you dizzy, not very pleasant, very heavy smell. And while grinding it, it was leaving a wet white residue on my tray. The ashes burned black like charcoal and the joint crackled. The taste was a lot like chemicals. The weed looked perfect, like something out of a 420 magazine. It was perfectly dried and everything. Actually it looked like PGR weed when you Google it, it looked almost too perfect.
I was changing all kinds of different weeds over the past 2 years, and good weed doesn't cause me any problems, so i am 100% sure i only had problems with specific weeds. Good weed helps my eye pain.

I went to the doctor, they couldn't find any problems (although i never visited a doctor while high on dirty weed, so the inflammation was never as intense as while smoking it)
However, they saw that my sinuses were a bit inflamed, and sinus inflammation around the eye can cause a lot of pain. It can also come from teeth. How are your teeth? Do you have any problems with gums or bones? Do you have a root that needs to be removed? Root infection can spread from tooth to the bone, and from the bone to the sinus, and from the sinus to the eye, ear, throat..

Either that or it's just really bad weed that you're smoking and i suggest grow your own or find other dealers. Matter of fact, i am 99% sure the weed you smoke is dirty because i heard a lot of stories about UK weed. Just trust your nose! And please don't smoke that shit anymore, the more your eye gets inflamed the more permanent damage it can cause.

And i bet this weed you smoke doesn't even make you feel good. For me, it felt like i took 20 sleeping pills and drank alcohol, my mind would go completely numb and i felt like a zombie. For example i would listen to music, the whole song would pass and i couldn't remember listening to it. I couldn't think straight, and it felt like my brain was malfunctioning. And this was before eye pain started. So you can imagine it got even worse after the eye pain started, i would be a zombie but in lots of pain and paranoia because of the eye.
Do you have similar effects? Does it make you feel like a zombie too? Do you just doze off staring at a fucking dot on the wall for 30 minutes without even being aware of your thoughts? That's how this weed felt to me.

Thanks for the reply

Wow shit

Teeth are fine, no serious issues

Buying UK weed - I try and get the most premium shit I can, I spent £50 on just an 8th yesterday, hoping it's clean

Dirty weed - would not suprise me one bit

Sprayed with synthetic - they better not have

I rarely get "high high" anymore, im a high functioning pot head, I just get relaxed

But im at work now and the pains have started a little bit, and no weed smoked today

Ffs it's literally doing my head in now

@Cflsgs Yeah i forgot the add, the pain didn't stop for a long time even after i stopped smoking it. I still experience chronic issues with my eye even though i haven't smoked that dirty weed in at least a year. So i suppose i got some permanent damage from the constant inflammation i was having.
I guess it could probably take you a month or few until you feel a lot better.

And about the premium weed, as i said this weed looked premium as well, like top shelf quality, literally like something out of a 420 magazine. The most beautiful buds you can imagine. You could smell it from across the street if someone is carrying it in the pocket. I also payed a high price for it.
But the smell is very chemical and strong. Some of them had hints of lemon or bubblegum, but it smelled a bit artificial, like perfumed.

Take care of yourself, try without it for few months and you won't regret it i'm sure. Dealers will do anything for money, they don't give a single fuck about your health.

I don't know how long you smoke, but i smoke for about 15 years now and good weed always gets me high and i feel good. Only bad weed doesn't get me high or gives me bad effects. If only i could smell that weed i could immediately tell.. Can you send a picture of some nugs?

I'm not from UK but i'm from EU so it's possible it could be something similar. Check this video from Germany:

Dont even waste your time and money with the Dr. they'll run twenty thousand dollars worth of testing. Then they'll tell you they found nothing. And then they'll tell you you should just quit smoking. And put you on the pill mill AKA "symptom management" Look at the ProPublica dollars for docs page to see how much money they get bribed with. What I would do is find out what Integrated pest management program is being used for what you are smoking. If you have a buildup of Neem oil, sometimes you can become sensitive to it and get headaches or hyperemesis syndrome or whatever they call it. Maybe try some smoke from another grower for a while and see. If you still have problems after that, start researching the most common foods that cause immune reactions and start eliminating those one at a time for three week eliminations from your diet. Get your gut in balance with some fermented foods, get rid of more and more things in your environment like stress.

^ 100% don't listen to that. See a doctor.

I'm no medical professional but I'm pretty sure gut flora has no correlation to sharp pain behind one's eye. Just a hunch.

As far as i know UK has free healthcare. Here in EU it's also free, and all the prescription medicine is free. You only pay for over-the-counter medicine.
For example when i had problems with my eye i went to a clinic and spent 5-6 hours there doing all sorts of tests, i was checked by multiple doctors, from ophthalmologists to neurologists and others that i can't remember the name lol.. Did a CT scan of my head, checked eye pressure, vision, and everything around the eye.. Checked blood, urine etc. they even tickled my feet and knocked my knees with a hammer like in the movies lol.. And i didn't pay a dime, everything was free. I only payed for the gas for driving there (which would be payed by the government if it was an ambulance driving you there in emergency) but my case wasn't an emergency so i payed my own transport.
The only thing is, i had to wait for some days for my appointment. I could go to a private oculist and pay 200€ for an immediate CT scan, but didn't have to. I highly doubt it would cost 20k in the UK just to check the eye..

He should definitely see a doctor and tell the doctor honestly what's going on. I spoke to my doctor about weed and weed is illegal here, but no problems whatsoever, they are very helpful and understandable. It's just that since weed is illegal, not a lot of tests have been done and doctors are unfamiliar with it.

OK possible cause, could be the act of smoking itself

I had to be 100% stealth when I smoke, so if I want a joint, I go for a walk, if it's past midnight, I'll smoke on the back yard

Now I am known to kinda chain smoke hand rolled cigarettes, no filter, just a roach (for that joint vibe)

And when I smoke the weed, I can smoke a full .5 joint to myself, just normally in about 3 minutes

I am aware that sometimes I don't even stop for fresh air before I take the next pull of the spliff

This could be an oxygen/ blood pressure thing

But its mad how its just always the same exact spot

Currently, my headace is running at 10% strength, which is really good as I've not took any painkillers

So I've rolled a fat spliff, and I'll take oxygen in between pulls

Glad you feel better. Was it the same weed as before, or different?
