I've never seen that happen, or seen reports of it, unless there was
some other substance involved. PCP (in the US) and alcohol (everywhere)
are the most common ones. And mixing drugs, any drugs, is just not good
for you.

Yes, I'd mich prefer people smoking pot around me (and ventilating the
room well!) than downing bottle after bottle of beer and then get all
aggressive because they misheard something. Stoners would typically fall
over, laughing.
