In reply to the discussion: So Trayvon Martin had small amt of THC in his system. [View all]John2
(2,730 posts)13. I think that
you can detect THC in someone's system, even if they smoked it for a significant time ago. I think it stays in the system for awhile. There is no evidence marijuana makes you hostile. Just because they detected a small amount in his system, doesn't mean he was high at the time. Didn't he also get suspended recently because they found a pipe in his possession in Miami? How many young people claim they smoked marijuana also? It is very typical among his age. Marijuana has been legalized in some states also.

The cops didn't test TM, either. It was the Med. Examiner. It's part of an autopsy. nt

The jury will assume the toxicology tests were negative, then, I would think. nt

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.
