Crossed (1)
clipping adjective
To be under the influence of both alcohol and marijuana at the same time.
Etymology : Possibly a clipping of the slang term “cross-faded” meaning the same thing, where cross refers metaphorically to being affected by two substances at the same time, where ‘faded,’ means intoxicated. The first usage is unknown, but the term was likely popularized in 2014.
