One more reason why I don't smoke pot anymore:

A few years ago, I smoked a bunch of pot one night and then went into the bathroom. My eyes were totally shot, so I reached into my bag and pulled out a bottle of what I thought was Visine, squirted a steady stream of it into my eye.

I had just gotten my tongue pierced a few days before.

My eye starts burning like nothing I had ever felt before in my entire life. It turns out that I had squirted Glyoxide (an oral anticeptic) into my eye instead of Visine. I thought I was going to go blind, and couldn't open my eye wide enough to get my Glyoxide-soaked contact lens out.

It hurt, and I sympathise with your situation. I promise no hot red chili flinging on the playa.
