Over the past 10 years, an increase in the consumption of cannabis by young people in the United States has occurred concurrently with an increase in assaultive crimes and other forms of antisocial behavior. Because these two behaviors have a temporal relationship, the following question arises: Does cannabis directly contribute to assaultive behavior?

Alcohol, a drug frequently linked with assaultive behavior,' is included in this paper for particular comparison. We will address the following possible interactions between specific drugs and deviant behavior:
