When combined with marijuana, it can be even more potent and dangerous. Overdose symptoms include nausea, vomiting, seizures, and paralysis. Other effects include aggressive behavior, confusion, delusions, violence, and suicide. Laced marijuana does not always contain another drug in it. Instead, dealers may cut marijuana with several other dangerous substances, including laundry detergent to make the marijuana heavier and enhance the smell , glass to add weight and make the marijuana look more appealing , fungus, and bacteria introduced accidentally during the growing process.
You can also find heavy metals 2 the result of specific growing methods in each batch of marijuana. Needless to say, all of these substances are very hazardous to consume. Excessive drinking becomes problematic when done in combination with cannabis because weed prevents you from vomiting. While you might become nauseous, you may not be able to throw up.
Usually, when someone drinks too much, they throw up, which helps flush all the alcohol out of the system. However; pot can prevent this from happening. As a result, drinking alcohol and using cannabis at the same time leads to an increased risk of alcohol poisoning — which almost guarantees a hospital visit.
According to US News at least 2, people die every year from alcohol poisoning. Many of them were drunk AND stoned. Also, It should go without saying that no one should ever drive or operate heavy machinery while they are under the influence of green and alcohol. Millions of Americans are prescribed benzodiazepines like Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin for anxiety, insomnia, and other health conditions.
By themselves, these anti-anxiety medications are dangerous. They are not only highly addictive, but they also deliver a powerful sedative effect many. If you combine benzos and weed, you are looking for trouble. Remember, we told you that Xanax and other benzos are depressants. You should never mix depressants and cannabis. They can significantly reduce heart rate and blood pressure and lead to coma or death. Another thing you should know about mixing marijuana and benzos is that you are likely to wake up in the morning if you are lucky enough to make it home safe with absolutely no recollection of how you got there.
Benzodiazepines are notorious for affecting memory and causing blackouts. Bud is also associated with short-term memory loss. When you mix these two substances, you are likely to walk around in a mental fog that will prevent your brain from creating new memories.
This increases the likelihood that you will put yourself in dangerous situations that could result in you getting robbed, assaulted, or something much worse. What about mixing marijuana with other drugs like suboxone? This synthetic compound, which can be found in many opioid replacement therapy drugs like Suboxone and Subutex, has a sedating effect much like marijuana.
Buprenorphine is often prescribed to those who are dependent on opioid drugs like heroin, Oxycodone, or Fentanyl. It helps fight off cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Therefore, it is likely that someone who is prescribed the drug would not want to mix it with an addictive substance like cannabis in the first place. However, those who are considering using bud while on Suboxone, Subutex, or another drug containing buprenorphine should seriously consider the safety risks. The problems with mixing marijuana and buprenorphine stem from the fact that the opioid replacement drug has strong depressant effects. Because marijuana can also act as a depressant, using the two drugs in combination can lead to respiratory depression and death.
Also, it is important to note that combining marijuana and Suboxone or other opioid replacement therapies can render buprenorphine ineffective.
This means that cravings for opioids and withdrawal symptoms will eventually kick in, which can lead to a relapse. Pot is no exception. Antidepressants are prescribed to treat psychiatric conditions like. Many people use green while taking their antidepressants to self-medicate in an attempt to find relief from their mental health issues. This is not the solution. In fact, mixing marijuana and antidepressants can actually make things much worse.
For example, cannabis causes many people to experience anxiety. Those who have Generalized Anxiety Disorder or other similar conditions can actually feel more anxiety when they use pot. Medications like Prozac, Lexapro, and Zoloft are commonly prescribed to treat anxiety. Combining these antidepressants with marijuana can counteract the meds and enhance anxious thoughts and feelings.
Some studies have shown that chronic cannabis use can lead to depression. Even in smaller doses, this type of weed produces effects that can last up to 12 hours. Phencyclidine, better known as PCP or angel dust, is a strong hallucinogenic drug known for its mind-altering effects. Dealers usually add PCP to weed to induce a stronger psychoactive effect. This kind of marijuana is sold under different names such as dusted weed, wet weed, fry, and super weed.
Smoking just small amounts of this compound can make you feel detached from your surroundings. This can eventually lead to aggressive behaviour with strong hallucinations, delusions, and even seizures, with the possibility of developing neurological damage. As one of the most addictive drugs out there, heroin is among the most dangerous substances on this list.
Unfortunately, heroin-laced weed is not uncommon nowadays. Heroin is a yellowish, brown powder which smells like rubber or vinegar. The high produced by weed laced with heroin produces a slow heart rate, slowed breathing and confusion that is almost unbearable.
As ketamine became one of the favorite club drugs, it also found its way into rolled joints. Ketamine can be very dangerous—dehydration, overheating, and confusion are just some of the symptoms. It can cause serious effects, including hallucinations, delusions, and even seizures.
Embalming fluid is a mixture of solvents including formaldehyde , which is used to preserve dead bodies. Fentanyl is an opioid drug used as a painkiller and anesthetic. Fentanyl is a very dangerous opioid, and it would be more than stupid to mix it with any drug including marijuana.
Believe it or not, weed can be laced with other materials and substances because they are much cheaper than some drugs and can easily make the weed appear more appealing to the eye. Shattered, and crushed glass has been used to replicate trichomes, the mushroom-like structures on top of the buds. Glass makes the buds look like they are packed with trichomes.
Weed mixed with glass also weighs more. Some dealers mix weed with laundry detergent to make it heavier, more sparkly as well as to alter the smell. These two drugs are often seen as harmless, but they can create real dangers when used alone or together. Marijuana is a mind-altering intoxicant, stimulant, psychedelic and depressant. Use can involve the following side effects:.
These side effects can have consequences. They inhibit clear thought and action. Users may be involved in accidents or injury. They may make decisions that can damage their physical health. Other words or actions can affect how they interact with others personally and professionally. Marijuana may also make using other drugs like LSD seem like a harmless or even good idea. Long-term use can result in tolerance, dependence, addiction and withdrawal.
Marijuana has relatively few physical side effects compared to other drugs like opiates or benzodiazepines. It can create risks and dangers, and it can be very hard to quit.
