Growth op
An unconscious man discovered in a Bronx park confessed to New York police and first responders that he had passed out while attempting a gang initiation, according to NY Daily News. Paramedics initially believed that Christian Cruz had overdosed and gave him Narcan in a bid to revive him. They found the gun, a 9 mm Luger, wrapped in a plastic bag inside his jacket while searching for identification.

In other words, the effects of cannabis are generally more acute when mixed with alcohol, which can lead to unexpected and unpleasant side effects, such as nausea or passing out.
