A co-worker comes back from lunch.

We're in a bright conference room for a meeting, and i noticed her eyes are fully dialated.

What drugs can have that effect?

edit:
Although I cant rule out the possibility of an eye exam, she doesn't wear glasses.

edit2:
The reason i think she was on drugs was because she seemed somewhat non-energetic + withdrawn, like her puppy just died or something like that. (no, she doesnt have any pets.)

Depressants and barbituatates do that, but so can eye drops. Did he go for an eye exam over lunch?

I think you are awefully presumptuous to jump to conclusion that it was caused by illegal drugs (those that said crack/lsd etc.). Perscription drugs can have the same side effect.

+1 for eye drops. I went to the eye doctors once and I got the drops. My pupils were huge and I could barely see outside because it was so bright.

Lol no kidding. My guess would be something besides their dilated eyes should give them away if they dropped some acid over the lunch break :D

exactly, taking lsd or shrooms on a lunch break is exactly what will get you fired, because it will be lasting the entire rest of the day and you won't be able to do anything. its likely the work environment would send the user into a nightmare-like trip anyhow.

LSD, yes. Shrooms, hardly. In all honesty, with the updates you posted, if you HAD to...I mean, trully HAD to, pick an illicit drug I would say shrooms. Although, I highly doubt it. Shrooms you are able to focus in on things. Granted, the amount that you take and how far along since she took them would also weigh in. It would definately account for the pupils, as for her being withdrawn would you say she was focused/fixated on objects around the room or what? Because that's the way I've felt/acted.
