This leads to prolonged feelings of queasiness, dizziness, and sickness. But the real hazard of cross fading is the alcohol-induced aspiration. Asphyxiating on their own vomitus while intoxicated was the cause of death for several well-known people, including:.
This often leads to a rapid infection that soon develops into a fatal form of pneumonia. Under the influence of alcohol, a person is:. With this in mind, it comes as no surprise the chronic drinkers score poorly on the Iowa Gambling Task , a psychological test that measures executive functioning by simulating real-life decision-making.
Likewise, chronic cannabis use is also associated with impaired executive functioning, especially in these areas:. The effects of either of these substances are serious enough, but when they are combined, they can be even worse. Alcohol affects safe driving skills almost immediately, even in individuals with a BAC as low as.
To judge the effects of marijuana on driving , one only has to look at states where it has been legalized:. The research suggests that when people are under the influence of both marijuana and alcohol, it does increase the probability of getting into a crash. Again, because the effects of marijuana are magnified by drinking, driving while under the influence of both multiplies the risks.
The NHTSA also reports that compared to a driver doing neither, drinking while using marijuana results in an eightfold risk of being involved in a fatal traffic accident. Many people who experience a crossfaded bad trip also suffer severe psychological stress in the form of:. When alcohol is chronically added to the mix, psychological problems become a probability , rather than a mere possibility.
Marijuana use also appears to increase the likelihood that an existing Alcohol Use Disorder will continue over time. Listed below are some of the top reasons for why people may opt to crossfade using cannabis and alcohol:. If you have ever had one too many drinks or that extra bowl too many, you will be familiar with some of the unpleasant side effects that can come from too much pot or booze, but what happens when you combine the two? Below are some of the most common side effects of crossfading; however, this list is not exhaustive:.
It goes without saying that if you combine two substances that have opposite effects on the body, you are bound to get some unpleasant and risky side effects, but what is going on when we are crossfaded? Alcohol is a well-known depressant on the central nervous system; it has a direct impact on our motor skills and can impact how our brain and body communicate. Cannabis, on the other hand directly affects the brain itself, leading to cognitive effects, which can lead to things such as paranoia, anxiety and visual delusions.
However, when it comes to the risks of crossfading, it goes way beyond feeling a little spacey. According to a study , combining alcohol and cannabis actually increases the amount of THC in the bloodstream, almost by double when compared to those who smoked pot but consumed a placebo drink!
For the user, this means that they are going to feel double the impact of the pot alone. In a more recent animal study done at Duke University, researchers tested the effects of ethanol and THC on adolescent rats. Those under the influence of both were markedly less motivated to explore than those subjects under the influence of just one of the substances. It was also shown that the rats under the influence of both THC and ethanol had impacted memories compared to the other subjects. Flickr, [L.
After individuals drank a large dose of alcohol, the THC levels in their blood plasma nearly doubled. Ask Us Anything. Like science, tech, and DIY projects? Well, it all depends on who you ask. It usually happens when you smoke after being drunk, but either order of operations can send your body and mind into a frenzy. Being stoned and drunk can make you feel a multitude of ways. Take that into account and you can see why even fewer studies have been done on the crossfade. There are plenty of scientific studies on both cannabis and alcohol independently, but the combination of the two has been explored very little.
