Alcohol and cannabis have both been around for many thousands of years, so it’s safe to assume that at some point between back then and now, somebody had the bright idea of mixing the two. We’d be lying if we said we hadn’t thought of doing the same. After all, cannabis and alcohol can both be enjoyed in moderation, and if we mix them together, it’s double the fun, right?
Well, although some people might enjoy the feeling of mixing Delta-9 with alcohol, there are some things that you need to know about doing this, things they didn’t know back then. For those who are confused, when we say Delta-9, we are talking about THC, specifically Delta-9 THC, which happens to be the most common and abundant form of THC found in cannabis, the stuff that gets you high.
The reason we’re making the distinction is that federally, in the USA, Delta-9 THC is not legal. However, cannabinoids derived from hemp plants with less than 0.3% THC are legal, which means that some other forms of THC, such as Delta-8, are technically legal, or at least not illegal, on a federal level. However, on a state level, there are quite a few States that have legalized all or most forms of THC for medicinal and recreational use, and yes, this includes Delta-9 THC.
In those States where Delta-9 is now legal, more and more people have easy access to good old weed, but this means that more people are also mixing weed and alcohol. Alcohol has been legal for a very long time, but weed is just getting there (at least in some States) so people are understandably excited and looking to try all sorts of new things. So, what happens when you mix Delta-9 THC and alcohol? What will you feel? Is it safe? Let’s find out.
