No, it's not THC.
Berenson has been a wonderfully objective aggregator of GOOD science, but he has a bug up his ass about marijuana. He wrote a book on the subject a while ago, and overattributes most problems to pot use.
Welcome to the first mass protests in the age of wide use of ultra-high-potency THC products: seemingly calm in stretches, but paranoid, confused, directionless, and prone to bursts of random violence.
Might be true if all other forces were absent, but it's an UNNECESSARY added variable in the current mess. STIR-CRAZY is the only diagnosis you need.
This is what happens when people are confined in a totally chaotic situation. Overstressed and whiplashed by conflicting orders and short on confidence and short on sleep. In fact, sleep deprivation and sleep interruption will do most of the job without the other stuff. Cheaper, too.
Psychopaths under various names (Drill sergeants, CEOs, presidents, governors, torturers, etc) have known how to cultivate this condition for thousands of years. PTSD. Room 101. Our current tyrants have applied the old recipe masterfully.
