I don't keep up with but three people I knew before and during high school. We were all "loadies" (what we called people who smoked pot sometimes).
Now, one of us never smokes pot. Three of us do when we have an opportunity to relax. One is an alcoholic (hard struggle, but he's a great funny guy).
None of us has done time, shot anybody, or anything like that. I'm sure there are some stoners who are also violent criminals; gotta be. But, I've never seen any data to suggest that there is a correlation between being a stoner and being a violent criminal, and haven't seen any connection in my personal experience either.
