Cross-faded
Meaning: Intoxicated from both alcohol and marijuana at the same time.
Cross-faded describes the specific state of being under the influence of both alcohol and weed simultaneously. The effects can be unpredictable — some people enjoy it, while others find it overwhelming. It's a well-known concept in American party culture, especially among younger adults.
