Cannabis + Xanax

[ajkvq]

Hey ladies and gents, this is my first post here.

I'm a little worried about a friend of mine. She's pretty dependent on bars (which is bad enough already) and smokes a lot. Last night she got into an argument with her boyfriend and took a good amount of bars and smoked. Although I do not know the exact quantities that she ingested, my question is simply..

Are there significantly, or possibly fatal, effects from combining large amounts of both substances?

Thanks!

The withdrawal from benzos could result in a seizure, or if the xanax was combined with opiates or alcohol it could be fatal.

But as far as xanax and weed go, it isn't a deadly combination alone.

Alprazolam overdose is always possible.

The main danger? Your friend blacking out while on Xanax but remaining awake. It's stupid how easy it is to get hurt, in trouble or both when you're deep in a Xanax binge, and then not even remember what happened once you sober up. No memory for days, but plenty of consequences to live with.



I agree with iodo about the combination not being inherently dangerous, though... at least no moreso than if one were to take the two drugs separately. Taking a handful of bars in one go isn't exactly a safe way to go about prescription pill abuse (I know that's a funny sentence), though...

Obviously too much Xanax is dangerous, but as far as I know there isn't a drug in existence that is proven to have fatal interactions with cannabis.

the combo together isn't anymore dangerous than xanax alone, seeing how weed is a very safe drug that you can mix with umm, everyhting

cannabis + xanax gives me mega munchies. totally uncontrollable as i simply dont seem to give a fuck. so i think her biggest danger might be getting fat.

Enh, you're on the right path.. but I would say (and from what I've read) that Xanax is probably your worst choice as far as what benzo to combine with your weed. #1 Etizolam, #2 Valium.

Like others have said it's not a dangerous "combo" but Xanax blackouts are bad bad bad.

For example, I once took way too much Xanax and ended up running my own foot over with my own car. Had no recollection until I woke up in the hospital the next evening.

Keeping the Xanax dose low and smoking weed is quite pleasurable though at least IMO.

It's funny, if you hadn't mentioned Xanax I'd be sitting here thinking "How the fuck....?" but with the mere mention of Xanax I'm just like "Yep, business as usual."


Also, I've parked my car under the influence of bars only to step out and watch the fucker roll forward into a car (with an old man in it waiting for his wife to finish grocery shopping, lol)/a concrete barrier/one of those gated areas in parking lots that collects carts. I've had plenty of close calls where a passenger jumped in the front seat and threw the car all the way in park for me.



Drinking and driving almost seems safe when you compare it to driving on a benzo' binge.

Xanax and bars are a good way to forget things. To be more exact, everything. She might have some deeper issues she's trying to self-medicate. There's no danger mixing herb and xanax...the danger comes in over-doing it on the xanax. Good luck to your friend.
