On this Bearcat Wellness Minute, Kylie talks about the risks of mixing marijuana and alcohol. Combining the two can intensify their effects in unpredictable ways, since alcohol increases THC absorption, leading to faster and stronger impairment. This can result in poor coordination, nausea, dizziness, blackouts, anxiety, and risky behavior. Mixing substances also makes it harder to recognize your limits, increasing the chance of accidents or unsafe decisions, including driving under the influence. While spacing substances out and planning ahead can reduce harm, the safest choice is to avoid mixing altogether. Campus Wellness Services offer confidential, judgment-free support and resources for students.
