My older brother by like 12 years or so (both of my older siblings are much older than me, for a while I was the youngest now I have two half brothers both younger) back during the early 90's stole a blank audio cassette tape from Wal-Mart. Of course, Wal-Mart at the time already had incredible video surveillance systems that covered every inch of the store making shoplifting virtually impossible, but he didn't know it at the time. He just opened the package that it came in, pocketed the tape, then continued walking around the store with my Mom as she shopped normally. He of course thought he got away with it at the time, thinking as they're going through the line if they haven't confronted him yet, they won't. Then as they are heading out of the store towards the car, a security guard comes running out and tells them to stop because the police are on their way. My Mom is like "Police? Why?" and then he says "Your son stole something."
As he's getting booked at the station, he didn't fully realize how much trouble he was in yet. He had to spend the night in the jail's lockup, but then he recounted later on that it didn't bother him that he was going to have to do that. What he said bothered him the most was the look of disappointment and sadness on my Mom's face. He proceeded to think about it the entire time until bail could be arranged and posted the next morning.
It was the first and only charge (as far as I know) on his criminal record. He told me later on he didn't even WANT the tape, and he didn't know why he stole it. But it was the feeling of shame and regret looking into my mom's eyes that hurt him the most in the end.
Seeing the grandmother just completely emotionally destroyed and having to leave the room and then that causing the girl to begin crying herself makes me think about that. This is obviously way worse, but even this stone cold killer of a girl was brought to tears knowing how much pain and misery she had brought to her family, including her sweet grandmother, who probably thought the world of her up until that point. It's heartbreaking and tragic.

@JBOM-qp8nq "Some sort of drug or alcohol use" there's lots of other drugs under the sun.
And only a moron would think I am defending drug use of any kind. If you go out and kill somebody under the influence of anything, you're a violent person and either the drugs or alcohol (or both, as it were) brought out a more exaggerated version of that in yourself. I am not talking about someone who drinks alcohol and gets behind the wheel of a car and causes multiple fatalities as a result of a car accident because that is, by definition, an accident.
But the idea that meth or any other drug (because I am not just talking about meth here) you take it and suddenly your library-pass having nerd-ass self is going to turn into a killing machine is a logical fallacy. If that was the case, ALL drug users would be murderers.
Besides, I'd love to see the statistics on drug users committing acts of violence. Violence happens AROUND drugs all the time, but that's usually as it pertains to the people selling the drugs, dispute over turfs, profits, etc. It's more centered around the business of the sale of narcotics than it is with regards to actual users going out and committing violent acts.
I would say someone who gets completely drunk and then beats someone to death in a bar fight, it's still 100% the person who is responsible and the only thing you can say about the alcohol is that it contributed to the act. But to say it CAUSED it? You'd have to be a fucking moron. Because again, if that was the case, all alcoholics or people who drink would be out murdering people, too. Does it happen? Yes. Is it the norm? No. It's the exception, not the rule.

@jello4479 Yeah that's incredibly rare. Besides, I would still argue those people are vulnerable to psychotic episodes in the first place. So, NOT of sound mind. I have never, EVER heard of someone lose their mind after smoking some weed. Ever. I have heard of them losing their mind after smoking K2/spice, snorting or injecting bath salts, etc. Real hallucinogens like acid, DMT and even shrooms for instance. But weed? Even this new era of high-potency strains, if you have a temporary psychotic episode after smoking some weed I think the explanation is more in the person's biochemistry than "the weed made me do it". There is even a really small subset of people, for instance, that they say meditation is not only not going to benefit them, it actually might make them WORSE. Sociopaths and psychopaths, people like that. All of this when considering the fact that meditation for people who aren't messed up in the heads is considered one of the healthiest mental activities (and otherwise) you can do. Some people are just batshit insane, in other words, and easier to set off.

@kryztynagil5328 Yeah, side effects of meth use are unbelievably bad. It can cause you to stay up for days on end, in some cases people report not sleeping for upwards of a week. When you stay up that long I can imagine it begins to drive you insane just by itself. Some people use it functionally and they do it so they can work two jobs and still be able to care for their kids. Not excusing it, just explaining it. It's really popular with truckers as well who use it so they don't lose focus. I would say even this is a misuse of the drug, but that is the way I would say "responsible" people use it. Other people, particularly those in the gay community (gay men, specifically) use it to enhance sexual experiences. That's not to say they all do, but many of them definitely do. But even then it's not causing even a notable minority of them to ultimately "snap" one day and then go on a homicidal rampage. I would think someone who is that close to the edge could ultimately be set off by cocaine use, or alcohol, but it's just as you said it isn't going to effect everyone that way. In fact most people it won't, or else everyone would become a murderer on these substances.
It's just as I said before that if you're already prone to violent outbursts and things of that nature, using a drug like meth or alcohol will only bring out a worse version of that in you. But that already existed inside of you to begin with, the substance just gave it a microphone so to speak.

@annamallen90 Define "capable" because sure I guess everyone has the ability to grab a hammer and kill someone with it or accidentally crash their car into someone but I disagree with the notion that everyone has a killer instinct. I don't. I can't think of any situation where I'd kill someone on purpose except for in a situation where someone had broken into my house and was actively attacking my family. If that ever happened for sure, give me the chance and I will destroy them, but that is different than someone going out and engaging in a killing spree.
Depends how long you've been off the opiates, how long you were on them to begin with, how much you were taking, your body type, etc. Opiates are basically chemical happiness. That's why they are so good to begin with, they are an artificial dose of what is literally happiness and if you go long enough using or worse, abusing, drugs like that your brain gets used to a new normal until one day you can't afford it anymore or quit. The thing most people associate with opiate addiction is getting sick. That's just one aspect of what makes it so hellacious. I also used to be addicted to opiates, starting with pills then moving on to heroin like everyone else but have been "sober" for years as long as we consider being on Suboxone being sober.
That being said meth and opiates are apples and oranges. Meth literally drives people insane temporarily from lack of sleep or otherwise and to me seeing someone kill on that seems more likely than seeing them kill on opiates. Opiates are liable to make you nod out and go to sleep. Everyone's personality is different though. Meth makes people see red.
