Actually, if anyone thinks this is really relevant to the plot (I don't), if you are addicted to opiates (like morphine or heroine) and are starting to withdraw from them, this will produce pupillary dilatation and thus is evidence of prior addiction. Constricted pupils could be a sign of narcotic intoxication. David Rind rind@hscfvax.harvard.edu
