Alcohol isn't instantaneous, but that much can put you down in a minute or so. He also appeared to be drunk before he got on the stage, if I remember correctly, so it was pretty spot on for me.
As for the weed part, a lot of first time smokers get like that. Back in high school my friends and I had one girl freaking out thinking the walls were going to sprout legs and crush her to death. She nearly threw a speaker through the window in an attempt to escape before we calmed her down. Another girl was setting her fake fingernails on fire for reasons which were never revealed to us. Sounds way over the top for weed, but I have countless stories of similar things happening. -

what are you talking about, white people don't know what its like to be on drugs?! take a seat racist, have you ever done drugs? Adam Scott in the seniors singles episode smoking a joint with Ed Begley Jr and Constance in the mens bathroom seemed pretty authentic to me. Scott looked high as sh** and the way he spoke slowly and lost track of what he wanted to say seemed completely authentic to me.
Ron overreacted but still was acting somewhat reasonable, and it is reasonable to think he would overreact because of his whole staying clean and sober thing, he doesnt use drugs in his day to day life, so when he smokes at the funeral home and gets a contact high from Dro-Brizzle in the sweet 16 episode, its still believable -

Uhhh stereotypically, white people do crazy drugs even sniffing aerosol cans and going so far as creating poisons in labs to get high on but I didn't mention any of that 'cause that would be racist. -

As many have said, Adam Scott's portrayal of being high on pot and ecstacy were spot on. Pretty much these actors all seem to have good experience with the actual drugs. As far as Roman in the last episode, it was more paranoia and an inability to control his thoughts. And at the HS reunion it is pretty clear that Ron has already been drinking when he grabs the bottle from behind the bar. If you pound straight liquour it really only takes a matter of minutes to be affected. I suspect due to the time constraints of a TV show there is a degree of license allowed here to expedite the punch line. And Jennifer Coolidge's portrayal of a mushroom trip is pretty much nails too, particularly the whole "I just wanted to know what it would be like over here" scene. That is my experience w/ mushrooms.

different strains of marijuana have different effects and different people will be affected differently, NOT because of their race but just due to different body chemistry. Chapelle's bit on that was funny but not meant to be taken as science.
I've had minor hallucinations from eating weed, nothing close to LSD or mushroom hallucinations but definitely some trippy beep
i think adam scott acts high perfectly Roman's experience wasn't that big of a stretch, and this is a comedy show, some license can be expected
