......... I have not seen 'mental abuse' used by pot smokers.
Generally they are pretty 'dopey'.
Usually pot smokers grow out of it. It's a transient thing.
Take care
You're looking at it all the wrong way around with your Christian glasses Sprint. This is why Christianity fails to understand... well, a lot of things here in Australia and fails to qualify.
Ever see the effects of a Rave 'drug' orientated Night Club?
I'll give you an example of The Pod (a place that used to exist on Gosgrave Lane, if I remember) - a Rave Club for Melbournians. It used to be the old The Tunnel.
The Tunnel was alcohol-infused and the AFL players brawl more wildly than a NRL Origin game, when it comes to 'social settings' (like inside Panther's Leagues

).
But in a drug-infused club like The Pod. There was no 'physical' violence against others. Instead, you would see them sitting outside the club with their head in their hands. Sometimes alone, sometimes with another. In their 'tranced' state (and this includes Pot) - their minds are indeed 'open' (the high)... but what gets put in? Well, this is where it all happens. Sometimes its intentional, sometimes its due to the weakening, of the pot/drug head's constant use, of the mind to comprehend effectively - but for this post's sake, lets say young Samantha has smoked some wicked purple bud. She went into The Pod happy, came out wishing to slit her wrists! While inside she subjected herself to and was subjected to - the mental abuse of (at times 'Gay-like') intellectual snobberies and elitisms that come with the likes of Drug use. Maybe Peccary was in there trying to make her feel bad with his virtue-signalling traps? Maybe John Smith was in there calling her a 'moron'? The paranoia sets in. It can be directly from this experience for her, it can be from the build-up of her previous year of using drugs and now she feels 'bad'. So bad, she wants to die. Maybe she just feels bad there are no more straight guys around to get laid with - nothing but a club of intellectual mental abuse by Gays?
...Ring a bell in regards to today's political climate?
It's a really big bell ring between everyone's ears these last 4 years.
Mental violence and Physical violence are like Venus and Mars.
A Pot head might come across as 'Passive Hippy Non-Physical' violence, but their 'Mental' violence is just as nasty and brutal. You have quite a few 'mentally violent' Politicians in power and have had for many decades. Sometimes 'mental violence' can leave the likes of Barney-Barney Joy-Joy flat out like a lizard drinking.
Christianity - is one of the most 'mentally abusive' violence's in the world. God knows the majority of potential suicides in Hospital Emergency Wards - are because of 'Religion'.
Thanks for discussing this politely.
I am an Aussie btw.

I have not seen pot causing this.
in some countries it has been legal for decades.
Do you mean 'mental violence' like abuse, ridicule etc etc?
Right, fair enough.
Pot can make people more paranoid and thoughtful.
Yes , I have been paranoid with pot.
If someone abuses me when I am stoned, that is not pots fault. That is the other person doing it.
Alcohol stops a persons more sensitive nature, so good for aggressive AFL players etc.
If they get drunk and hospitilise someone in a fight, that is of alcohols doing.
If a drunk kills some one while driving under the influence, that is alcohols cause
Again, I cannot see christianity causing suicides
