Medical uses

Since they are both depressants the CNS will slow down a lot. When the CNS is slowed down, so are the other body systems When taking a strong amount of both it can cause the respiratory system to slow down so much that you stop breathing. It can also cause you to become sedated, Often times this mixture, when using enough of it, will result in death. Narcotics and alcohol should never be mixed together.

Narcotics mixed with alcohol

When you mix any narcotics with any other drugs it will cause the effect of both to become stronger and potentially kill you. Especially mixing Narcotics and stimulants which are exact opposites will react in a life threatening manor.

Narcotics and other drugs

Narcotics are highly unsafe. They can rip apart families, they can make you lose your job, they can make you make some pretty bad decisions. They can also kill you. Taking narcotics puts you at risk of death and your family at risk of grief. Narcotics should only be used for medicinal reasons and they should never be abused.
