Hmm... changing the brain's chemistry doesn't change the way the brain works. Interesting thinking.   
  
You're borrowing a Christian world view here aren't you. You're thinking there's just something "bad" or "good" that people just are because some angle or demon caused it, aren't you?  
  
So, guys get drunk and get into fights. But, they don't get sober and get into fights. But, the booze doesn't make a difference in how they act?  
  
So meth addicts commonly crash out by finding someone to butcher the way Nick Reiner killed his parents. But, the "stimulant" (oh you do love to equivocate, don't you?) might as well be a cup of coffee. A little pick-me-up, like eating a cookie and getting little sugar rush.  
  
That's what you're saying. Right. It's all the same. Crazed addicts on the street are just guys who'd be exactly the same except sober without the drugs. Oh, excuse me: "stimulants".  
  
I give you a shot of adrenaline, a "stimulant" while you're full up on THC? Care to guess what that probably does to you? It makes you utterly paranoid and puts you into a full blown fight/flight situation where you'll likely do virtually anything to escape the feeling of imminent doom. Hey, you know that guy who's deathly allergic to something? You know what they're carrying at all times? It's an "epipen". Epinephrine. Adrenaline.  
  
Now, it's pretty unlikely they'll just randomly inject you, but what if you're in an emergency and they think they have just the thing for you, not knowing what might happen? Maybe it's not you. Maybe it's someone else who's really, really able bodied? Maybe someone carrying a load of PTSD from all the shit he did while he was special forces in Kandahar?  
  
What can that guy do when he's put into pure fight/flight mode? Would that be "bad"?  
  
There are documented examples of virtually all "stimulants" making people behave in ways that are generally classified as "bad".  
  
And, people aren't "bad". They're not "good". They're a collection of the influences on how they deal with the world around them. What's "bad", what's "good" are the actions people engage in.  
  
And DRUGS "stimulants" (like eating a cookie) are one of the influences, part of the chemical makeup of their brains which dictate their actions.  
  
If you consumed just the amount of alcohol in front of me, about an ounce of hundred proof, the combination of that with the THC in your system would very possibly generate an episode of "cop slop" for Asmongold to glory in.  
  
But, everyone's different. I can paint epoxy in an enclosed space to the point where I make other people sick just being near me afterward. Other people would have died in that room. I didn't even get a headache... the way my wife did just by being near me afterward. Which is why I decided I needed an industrial grade gas mask.  
  
Everyone has their weakness and everyone has their strength.  
  
But, if you want to claim that people DO NOT go psycho because of drugs. "stimulants" That's not even wrong. That's batshit crazy.  
  
I mean, what the fuck is even wrong with you that you'd try to gaslight someone you fucking KNOW checks into virtually any subject that comes up?  
  
You are NOT an idiot! You KNOW this won't work! Why are you even trying it?
