Grotere kans op comazuipen door ecstasy

Uit een onlangs gepubliceerde studie -uitgevoerd door The Australian Professional Society on Alcohol and Other Drugs, is gebleken dat “Stimulant but not cannabis intoxication is associated with excessive alcohol consumption.”

Uit de onderzochte proefpersonen, MDMA-gebruikers (die aan het gebruiken zijn) hebben een grotere kans op comazuipen dan wiet-rokers die high zijn.

“Ecstasy users who were intoxicated with stimulants (n = 91) were more likely to binge drink than ecstasy users who were not (n = 406) (89% vs. 67%), after adjusting for demographics, poly-drug use and intoxication with cannabis and energy drinks (adjusted odds ratio 3.1, P = 0.007), drinking a median of 20 drinks (cf. 10 drinks among other ecstasy users).

Cannabis intoxication was not associated with binge drinking among cannabis users (57% vs. 55%) or ecstasy users (73% vs. 71%). Binge drinking was more common in all of these groups than in the alcohol-only group (34%).”
