- Yes. Stimulants dilate, opiates contract.

- Its not uncomfortable but bright lights might be more annoying.

- Something to reverse the effects would be hard to obtain and cause
- its own side effects. Just wear shades. Not when driving at night though.

- As long as you don't lose your cool, eye contact won't give you away (except
- to the knowing). "Well officer, its dark out..." "Well officer, I've been
- staring at a computer screen all day..." Your tripping pupils will still
- react to light by closing up, but their resting state is a mm or two larger
- than normal.
-
- And if you chose your parents right, you have dark eyes, and its not an issue.
