Also if someone is unstable anything can set them off. A poor grade at university, a poor performance report at work, being fired, etc. Certainly not the basis for a legal restriction on the activity.
Also, video games? Come on.
You are right it has an affect on the mind but that alone doesn't mean anything. Cannabis is pretty unique in that it maintains a good deal of lucidity, certainly more than the megalomania of legal amphetamines and the delirious state of alcohol. I wouldn't recommend its use while operating heavy machinery or an automobile, an especially at high doses, but its a fairly benign drug overall.
