Nah it’s more of a “it’s easy to find a stick if you want to beat a dog” situation - drugs don’t make you do much of anything, aside from provide an excuse to do the thing you were too scared to do while sober. Drugs are the excuse, not the reason.

I’m not a violent guy, and I’ve never had a drug encourage me to act violently. Yes, even ‘those’ drugs.

I am however a lazy guy, and I’ve often had drugs encourage me to indulge my laziness.

Drugs can and do easily exacerbate pre-existing conditions. Especially mental health problems which would otherwise be controlled without intervention.

Many “crimes of passion” have had inebriation as a root cause of the lashing out.

Good to remember that alcohol is a mood-altering drug. However, its popularity is not limited to tech bros.
