Mixing Cannabis & Alcohol

Mixing Alcohol and THC can lead to increased impairment due to enhanced effects of both substances. This can result in impaired coordination, slowed reaction time, distorted perception and poor decision making. Additionally, the combination can increase the risk of experiencing uncomfortable side effects like "greening out" or even alcohol poisoning.

​

Alcohol can facilitate the faster absorption of THC, leading to a more intense "high". Both Alcohol and Cannabis are depressants, meaning they slow down brain and body responses, which leads to impaired coordination, delayed reaction times and poor judgement.

Potential Risks

  • Greening Out (feeling of extreme nausea and illness after Cannabis use)

  • Alcohol Poisoning

  • Increased Impairment

  • Potential for Harmful Decision Making

  • Psychological Effects (increased likelihood of hallucinations, paranoia and anxiety)

  • Various Potential Long-Term Risks

In summary, while some users report more intense effects when combining the two substances, the risks associated with the combination are significant and potentially dangerous, possibly deadly. It is crucial to be aware of these risks and to use caution when consuming both substances, or better yet, avoid mixing them altogether.
