And about 1/10th of Americans
My observations of mj users are like my observations of alcohol users. It doesn't make any of them brighter or give them better judgment, and it seems to magnify personality flaws.
I've known quite a few heavy smokers that you'd usually not be able to really even know they'd been smoking. I also know quite a few people that don't change much when they drink, other than their volume gets turned up.
You will test positive for marijuana some time after using. Its not like harder drugs that are "out of your system" in 2 days or so. He could have smoked weeks prior to the incident.
And he could have been smoking a Doobie on his way to get skittles. The world will never know.You will test positive for marijuana some time after using. Its not like harder drugs that are "out of your system" in 2 days or so. He could have smoked weeks prior to the incident.
Would that even be allowed in court?
Does it prove he was high at the time of the fight?Why not?

Yep! One life ended and another probably ruined.The more I read some of the details of this case the more it sounds like the perfect s***storm of stupidity by both parties. There is absolutely no way this ends well for anybody.
I'd like to sit in on the trial. It might be the only way to get the facts. NOT media facts...I am pretty sure that should Zimmerman not be found guilty and tossed to the wolves there will be violence on the scale of that caused by the Rodney King incident. Nobody even cared that the other people in Rodney's vehicle that did what they were told to do by the police were not treated badly. Only Rodney who decided to resist arrest after leading police on a merry chase and endangering the lives of many, many people. People just wanted to see poor Rodney's rough treatment severely punished. I do not see much difference in this situation. I am anxiously waiting to see all of the evidence. I would not want to be selected to sit on that jury.
I think Zimm. is getting the shaft here, but honestly, mj in this kids system doesn't make me think this helps Zimms case. In my experience, people smoking pot go down the aggression scale. Ive never seen or heard of somebody getting high, and starting a fight. Instead it makes me think, this kid got high, and walked to the gas statiion to get some munchies, not go on a crime spree in a neighborhood. If they had found evidence of coke, meth, pcp... I could see it helping Zimms case... $.02
So this test shows this kid smoked pot sometime within the last month or so.
It doesn't mean he was high when this incident happened.
This is a non-story.
