A teenager I know smoked weed and drank alcohol pretty much at the same time. (First time alcohol) Since then she hasn't been herself, lots of giggling acting giddy and falling into a deep sleep no matter where she is whether sitting or standing.

She's not a content person but only those that know her well know that. Suddenly now she's rambling on about depression, suicide and addictions to anyone.

It's going on for 2 days already.

Does any of this makes sense? Why did it happen? Is it something I should be concerned about? What should I do?

Thanks

I don't know the answer to this, Idiot17. Perhaps no one else here does either. I would suggest contacting a drug rehab program. Or,in the alternative, if you're in the U.S., you could call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline:

(800) 273-8255 (TALK).

They advertise that one does not have to be suicidal to call. They're there to help with any problem.

That does sound abnormal and not something I've heard before, and I've known many (including self) who used alcohol and weed as teenagers. The drunk/high effects should not last beyond about 6 hrs maximum.

Is it possible that she just sort of "cracked" emotionally, and it's unrelated to the drug/alcohol use? Are you sure she hasn't been continually drinking or smoking since the first time? Have you talked with your friend and asked her how she feels? If she does feel really out of it mentally and there's no other cause besides the first time use, it may be worth getting her to talk to a doctor. In my experience they're usually pretty discreet, even when drug use is involved.

Sounds like a prolonged come down? I've mixed both substances before and it's not suppose to make you feel or act that way. Should tell her parents

I feel like the thing about weed is, it could be mixed with any other substance, and a first time user would never know.
Plus I feel like your first weed high is pretty profound anyways, maybe she had a bad trip?
Maybe she's been really depressed and now she just has the courage to talk about it?

The thing about weed is that the high can last for several hours. I wouldn't take her seriously until the weed and alcohol is out of her system.

What is the status with her Idiot17?

Thanks for asking Zinco.

She freaked out after I spoke to her and told her that freinds/boss/coworkers know what she did and will seriously think of dropping her if her behavior continues.
I told her to lay low and sleep and if when she wakes up she's still like this I'm taking her to a doctor.

She slept for 48 hours straight. Made a doctor's appointment and cancelled it. After 12 hours of her waking up she slowly came down and started acting herself. Now she's mortified of what happened.

I have no idea what caused or ignited it.

Now she thinks it's cool to drink and is not responsible with it. Though I made her promise only on weekends and if I find out she drank during the week (I see her daily), she'll be out of a badly needed job.

Not a good feeling acting like a parent.

+1-strongly agree. She may get angry at you for snitching, but this could be dangerous as well.
