I'm not stoned. Srsly.
I went to the optometrist this morning, and she dilated my pupils for examination purposes. I don't remember it lasting this long the last time I was done. And to make matters extra fun, I've got one gigantic pupil and one that is reasonably-normal sized.

On the up side, the doctor was very nice and thorough, and I have a cute new pair of glasses being made.

I went to Bikram yoga with giant pupils one day for the same reason. I always wondered what people thought...

Hm. I can't imagine Bikram while stoned.

Well, here's hoping that going to work with wacky pupils won't get me sent home!

One of his eyes is permanently dialated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie
When Bowie was age fifteen, his friend George Underwood, wearing a ring on his finger, punched him in the left eye during a fight over a girl. Bowie was forced to stay out of school for eight months so that doctors could conduct operations in attempts to repair his potentially-blinded eye.[9][10] Underwood and Bowie remained good friends; Underwood went on to do artwork for Bowie's earlier albums.[11] Doctors could not fully repair the damage, leaving his pupil permanently dilated. As a result of the injury, Bowie has faulty depth perception. Bowie has stated that although he can see with his injured eye, his colour vision was mostly lost and a brownish tone is constantly present. The colour of the irises is still the same blue, but since the pupil of the injured eye is wide open, the colour of that eye is commonly mistaken to be different.[10]
