Can a sixth month old have temper tantrums?

I have raised a lot of kids so you would think I would know the answer to this, but this is a new one for me.
My 6 month old fs, is a relatively poor sleeper but used to wake up happy. The last few weeks he will fuss to let me know he is awake and when I go into his room as soon as he sees me he just starts to scream and kick, I can't pick him up fast enough, he is in an all out rage, after I pick him up it takes about a minute before he stops crying. He really is a joy, but when he wants something and you don't get to him fast enough he goes into a screaming rage. Are these temper tantrums or something related to his drug exposure before birth. It is really freaking me out because he is really mad for about a minute. I hope this isn't a sign of future behavior. Any thoughts?
