I found this little paragraph that could be the answer to your question. Although, the doctor states that he is not absolutely 100% positive.
"I believe that the answer is that
marijuana (specifically, cannabinoids) produce vasodilation (increased
caliber of blood vessels)."
I'm sorry I couldn't find anything better for you, but if you want a better answer try going to www.ask.com and type in some keywords for your question & see if you can find anything else! Good luck!! ♥Jenn

"Its irritating smoke dilates (enlarges) blood vessels. (It is not the smoke that dilates blood vessels, but the drug itself. This dilation of the blood vessels also causes the bloodshot eyes.) It also reddens the eyes and inflames the soft and delicate tissues of the nasal canal."

Yes. When you smoke pot & actually get high, there's a 99.9% chance your eyes will be atleast a little bit bloodshot.
