Can combining alcohol and cannabis lead to prolonged intoxication?

True, it can lead to prolonged effects
False, it does not affect duration
Only if used with other substances
Only if consumed in moderation

The correct answer is: True, it can lead to prolonged effects

Combining alcohol and cannabis can indeed lead to prolonged intoxication. When these substances are consumed together, they can interact in ways that enhance their effects on the body and brain. Alcohol may enhance the absorption of THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, which can intensify both the effects of intoxication and the duration of those effects. This combination can lead to greater impairment than when either substance is used alone, extending the period of feeling high or drunk. The consideration of intoxication being prolonged is particularly important for individuals who may not realize how their judgment and coordination can be affected more than they would expect from either substance alone. It's also essential to understand how the body metabolizes these substances together, often leading to a more extended experience of their effects.
