I spent 25 years working on the streets responding to stoned idiots or those who came into contact with them. Marijuana definitely helps trigger psychotic and violent behaviors in many individuals. Marijuana and alcohol are both drugs which cause many to lose their inhibitions. And there are many people who have a lot of rage just under the surface who are able to keep themselves under control when they are sober.

“Marijuana and alcohol are both drugs which cause many to lose their inhibitions. “

For those with thought disorders & other severe psychiatric issues this is true in some cases.

As a medical marijuana patient I can assure you cannabis does not lower my inhibitions or alter my moral compass at all.

Many years ago I used to drink & I can say to a certainty that alcohol definitely lowered my inhibitions.

There was a case in Dallas when some potheaded kids were smoking pot while riding public transportation. An elderly gentleman kindly asked the potheads to not smoke pot there. In response, the potheads beat him up with their skateboards, which ended up sending the elderly man to the hospital.

The potheaded kids were on pot during the time of their violence

The potheaded kids became violent in defense of their potheadism.

That to me seems the most plausible explanation.

Thank you for sharing information about what you saw. I saw much of the same in related work in the past. Now, it’s all around us.
