THC and alcohol are both psychoactive. THC acts on cannabinoid receptors in the brain, which&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK556062\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can lead to<\/a>&nbsp;cognitive effects and impairments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people drink and smoke marijuana together, alcohol&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2015\/05\/150527112728.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increases<\/a>&nbsp;the amount of THC that is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2015\/05\/150527112728.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">absorbed<\/a>&nbsp;into the body. While this means that people who use an alcohol and marijuana combination may report a \u201chigher high,\u201d the lows can also become amplified. For example, impaired judgment symptoms are more obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-effects-of-alcohol-and-weed.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-effects-of-alcohol-and-weed.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-effects-of-alcohol-and-weed-914x400.webp 914w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-effects-of-alcohol-and-weed-457x200.webp 457w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-effects-of-alcohol-and-weed-768x336.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-effects-of-alcohol-and-weed-980x429.webp 980w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-effects-of-alcohol-and-weed-600x263.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-effects-of-alcohol-and-weed-400x175.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-effects-of-alcohol-and-weed-150x66.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-risks\">What Are the Risks of Mixing Weed and Alcohol?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While people might use a combination of alcohol and marijuana to experience a more intense high, this can be dangerous. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/marijuana-addiction\/side-effects\/\">effects of marijuana<\/a> and alcohol on their own are unpredictable, and combining them makes this worse. You can absorb THC more quickly when there\u2019s alcohol in your blood, which can increase the risk of experiencing uncomfortable side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining the two substances also leads to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/7871074\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">greater degree of impairment<\/a>&nbsp;than taking either one on its own. This can increase your risk for accidents and injury. You may put yourself in risky or dangerous situations if you\u2019re drinking or using marijuana, and an alcohol and marijuana combination makes this even more likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that if you regularly use an alcohol and marijuana combination, you\u2019re at a higher risk of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/alcohol-abuse\/makes-alcohol-addictive\/\">developing a dependence<\/a>\u00a0on one or both of the substances. Further, if you try to cut back on either alcohol or cannabis, your reliance on the other substance is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33464670\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">likely to increase<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/drugabuse.com\/blog\/study-shows-alcohol-boosts-thc-levels-in-your-blood\/\">study<\/a> has also shown that those who consumed alcohol had much higher levels of THC in their bloodstream compared to a placebo group. So if you&#8217;re planning to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/marijuana-addiction\/faq\/detox-marijuana-at-home\/\">detox from marijuana<\/a>, drinking alcohol is not advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"988\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol-988x650.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol-988x650.jpg 988w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol-608x400.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol-304x200.jpg 304w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol-980x645.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol-600x395.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol-912x600.jpg 912w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol-400x263.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/risks-of-alcohol-before-weed-and-weed-before-alcohol.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-greening-out\">What Is Greening Out?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re researching the safety of mixing marijuana and alcohol, you may come across the term \u201cgreening out.\u201d It refers to a person feeling sick after smoking marijuana. This can happen with marijuana use on its own, but with an alcohol and marijuana combination, it\u2019s more likely to happen due to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2015\/05\/150527112728.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">higher THC levels<\/a>\u00a0when you drink. This is also commonly known as becoming &#8220;cross faded,&#8221; which indicates the combination of two substances (most commonly weed and alcohol.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-handle-a-bad-reaction\">How To Handle a Bad Reaction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a person has been drinking and smoking weed, higher THC levels in their blood from drinking may increase the risk of a bad reaction. Because physical and mental impairment can be&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/7871074\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more pronounced<\/a>&nbsp;when you combine cannabis and alcohol, it can be hard to know if someone\u2019s symptoms are due to a marijuana green-out or excessive alcohol intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because alcohol poisoning can be deadly, it is best to seek medical attention to make sure that your symptoms are not due to a dangerous blood alcohol level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While awaiting medical attention, it is important to keep the person safe from harm.
