The illegal drug most commonly associated with users taking off their clothes is Flakka (alpha-PVP), a type of synthetic cathinone often referred to as “bath salts” or the “zombie drug”.
This behavior is caused by a dangerous side effect called hyperthermia, where the user’s body temperature can skyrocket, sometimes exceeding 106 degrees Fahrenheit (41 degrees Celsius).
The extreme feeling of heat, combined with drug-induced psychosis, agitation, paranoia, and hallucinations, causes users to strip off their clothes and run into the street, often displaying erratic and sometimes violent behavior.

Nudity is also often a indication of demonic possession. Being California, I wouldn't rule it out (especially since that area of the San Fernando Valley is the porn production capital of the United States).
Thanks. I wondered about the jump in this happening. Do you know what the illegal drug here is called?
Woo hoo! What a fun trip.
NOT.
And, to think ... people want to feel this way ON PURPOSE.

My thoughts are a flowing River
Of FLAKA——

Thanks
Thanks for that info.
I thought I’d heard everything from my reading of true crime books but that’s a new one on me.
The list of aberrant behavior examples just sounds like woke types in the park on a summer’s day, though.
Or in Congress.
Also possibly a drug called, “Tusi”, AKA, “Pink Cocaine.”
Open Evidence says:
2C-B (2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromophenethylamine) is a synthetic psychoactive drug classified as a psychedelic phenethylamine, structurally related to mescaline. It acts primarily as a partial agonist at serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors, producing a combination of psychedelic, entactogenic, and mild stimulant effects.[1-5]
2C-B is used recreationally, often in rave and club settings, and is typically taken orally in doses ranging from 10 to 20 mg. Its effects include perceptual changes (altered colors, shapes, and distances), euphoria, increased sociability, and mild hallucinations. Compared to other psychedelics like psilocybin, 2C-B tends to have a shorter duration of action (usually resolving within 6 hours) and is considered to have moderate experiential depth.[2][4] It also shares some subjective effects with entactogens such as MDMA, including enhanced emotionality and well-being, but with less incapacitation than classical psychedelics.[3-4]
Adverse effects can include increased heart rate and blood pressure, and in rare cases, severe complications such as serotonin syndrome, seizures, and cerebral edema have been reported. 2C-B is not routinely detected in standard drug screens, which can complicate clinical management in cases of toxicity.[5-6]
In summary, 2C-B is a novel psychoactive substance with both psychedelic and entactogenic properties, increasingly encountered in recreational drug markets, and carries potential health risks, especially at higher doses or in vulnerable individuals.[1-6]
