I'm betting more on the fact that this was an experiment that was supposed to be short and focus on the effects on John's, but rather proved that giving people a license to do lawless things does in fact make them perform these to the maximum extent.

I'd guess that a couple of sessions in everybody running the experiment saw the potential to extort, manipulate and just plain have fun drinking/drugging and doing plain old illegal things under the pretense of "experiment".
