Small eye pupils can indicate drug use. Compare Michelle Bachmann's to NICD's chart

[snagglepuss]

When I saw Newsweek outtakes of Michelle Bachmann, the first thing I noticed was the size of her eye pupils (see link below). Anyone else think her eye pupils look particularly small or do they stand out due to her blue eyes?

The photo that shows this most clearly is the 4th photo.

Below the link to The Daily Beast is a page from the NICD, scroll down to the chart showing the various size of pupils that indicate drug use.

"A 6mm, 7mm, or 8mm pupil size could indicate that a person is under the influence of cocaine, crack, meth., hallucinogens, crystal, ecstasy, or other stimulant."

1. But what drugs induce that "Runaway Bride" bug-eyed look?

4. Crank n/t

6. Don't think so.

None of the speed freaks I knew looked that crazy.

[Old and In the Way]

2. I'm leaning towards glue huffing.

But, yeah, I think a case can be made that she's under some kind of stimulants...probably to stay 'up' for the rigors of a campaign.

3. But does she have the infamous "Green Tongue"? n't

5. The last time her pupils were that size she was trying to dry-hump Chimpy's leg ...

after the 2007 State of the Union spech.

7. I always thought it was the opposite, large dilated pupils

could indicate drug use in well lit places. Her very small pupils can be the result of bright lights in her face.

8. Some drugs like opiates and LSD cause large dilated pupils.

I think MB is full bore batshit crazy and needs NO drugs...God is her drug (yikes)!

9. Different drugs have different effects on the pupil as stated below.

A 6mm, 7mm, or 8mm pupil size could indicate that a person is

under the influence of cocaine, crack, meth., hallucinogens, crystal,

ecstasy, or other stimulant. A 1mm or 2mm pupil size could

indicate a person under the influence of heroin, opiates, or other

depressant, (see more examples below).

10. Small eye pupils can also indicate bright photographers lights.

Let's not get carried away and depart from reality. Sure she's crazy, but why introduce the possibility of drug use as an excuse for her craziness? Let her own her craziness fair and square.

[Rex]

11. I agree...why bring illegal drugs into this?

She is fucking crazy...sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

[snagglepuss]

12. Let's not read things into the OP that aren't there. I am simply asking a

question. I also raised the possibility that her pupils may look small as she has blue eyes.

[Rebubula]

14. LOL...

...no you did not just ask a question....

You posited a theory in classic Nixonian style - for example, 'Some people would say, though I would not, that this policy is insane'

You can say whatever you want, but you certainly did put the theory out there with your OP.




However, I agree with other people that point out flash bulbs going off can create the same insane look...

[snagglepuss]

16. I asked a question and I also qualified it by stating that her blue eyes may

make her pupil size more prominent. The fact that you didn't even look at the photo speaks volumes. Had you bothered you'd have seen there was no flash used.

[gkhouston]

15. Hey, at least we know she's not a vampire.

Or wasn't when the picture was taken... :freak:

[ellenfl]

13. or she could have a camera flash going off in her face. eom

[snagglepuss]

17. Maybe you ought to look at the photo.
