Hostility and Smoking


16 years ago 0 597 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I have to contribute my two cents' worth here as a psych major and 27 years experience on the streets as either a counselor or cop.  I can agree that smokers and (most definately) drinkers are more hostile, as with the majority of street drugs.  Many intoxicated people think they are King-Kong after a few and love nothing more than a good fight when being arrested.  The marijuana-only smoker, when arrested, tends to be very mellow and agreeable (he's more interested in if the jail serves cheetos!)  Just my observations......
