Confrontation and Substance Use: The Divergent Paths

Individuals under the influence of methamphetamine exhibit a pronounced tendency towards confrontation, often seeking direct conflict with authority figures such as the police.

This striking difference suggests that the psychological effects of these substances manifest in opposing behaviors, with meth users actively engaging with authority while cocaine users adopt a more evasive approach.
