(37,648 posts)8. Double wow. I'd think that they'd automatically test a shooter.
They didn't treat him like a victim, though. I heard the interview with one cop, and saw the testimonies of two cops, and watched the video of GZ walking the cops thru the incident at the site. One cop was pretty hostile to him (bad cop, good cop).

With pot I get nervous and paranoid, then relaxed. I know others who do become aggressive, though.

I would have expected a pot smoker to be busy jumping out of upper story windows...

In my mind, pot in the system indicates a non-violent, more mellow state of mind.

A good muffin or brownie don't stand a chance around prowling pot smokers.
