Smoking marijuana can lead to lower blink rate, decreased corneal sensation, and drier eyes. As a result, healing can be slowed down. It is best to avoid dusty and smokey areas for at least 2 weeks.
Shadowing can be caused by left over prescription or dryness. Since the shadowing isn't constant and appears during concentrated activities, dryness is most likely the culprit. I recommend using artificial tears four times per day. If that doesn't help, I would pay a visit to your eye doctor.
It is still early in your healing process. Glare at night is common during LASIK recovery. Each eye may heal at a different rate. In the mean time, I recommend keeping your eyes hydrated with preservative free artificial tears because dryness may exacerbate glare.
