Can combining alcohol and cannabis increase THC levels in one's blood?

Yes, it can lead to higher THC levels
No, it has no effect
Only in females
Only if consumed in equal amounts

The correct answer is: Yes, it can lead to higher THC levels

Combining alcohol and cannabis can indeed lead to higher THC levels in one's blood. Research has shown that the presence of alcohol can enhance the absorption of THC into the bloodstream. When alcohol is consumed, it can increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, allowing THC to cross more easily and be absorbed more rapidly. This can result in heightened effects and an increase in THC concentrations in the blood. Additionally, the combination of the two substances can influence individual sensitivity to THC, potentially leading to increased impairment and altered judgment. Understanding this interaction is crucial for responsible use, as it affects how each substance behaves in the body and the overall experience for the user. The other options do not accurately reflect the nature of the interaction between alcohol and cannabis or lack supporting evidence.
