True.
They act on different receptor systems and produce different acute and chronic effects. Alcohol is a CNS depressant (primarily affecting GABA and glutamate) causing sedation, impaired coordination, slowed reflexes, and risk of respiratory depression and liver damage with chronic use. Marijuana’s active cannabinoids (THC/CBD) act on the endocannabinoid system (CB1/CB2), producing altered perception, euphoria, increased heart rate, dry mouth, red eyes, appetite changes, and different cognitive effects and long‑term risks. Withdrawal syndromes and medical complications also differ.
