I did read the article. I agree that it seems very likely Martin had tried the stuff before, and I agree it’s possible that it was a factor that night. Until definitive proof comes out that he was affected by past use or had it in his system that night, though, I think a little skepticism is healthy here.
As for the media portraying Martin as a babe in the woods, etc. I totally agree. The media was taking sides from second one when the story went nationwide.
I like your reference to sainthood. In my opinion, which extends out about to the end of my nose, even if Martin was loaded to the gills, there’s no evidence that being loaded had anything to do with the attack. Loaded folks become violent at different levels, act out differently, etc. and there’s no evidence of his actual state at that moment of the assault. So, I just don’t see how it would ever get before the jury. I suppose that if the state claims (on the basis of no evidence) that Zimmerman provoked Trayvon so outrageously that any rational individual would assault him, then you might offer another possibility, but from what I’ve seen of the evidence, there’s simply no evidence that any such thing happened, so I don’t see how you get by the initial stage to get to that issue.
BTW, from what that article says, "Ice," "tea," "DXM", "robo-tripping,", and "skittles" are all slang related to street drugs.

Yup, that’s going to be the “out” for the LSM. Evil drug companies (white run) put something on the market that lured 12 year old Treyvon into a literal hell and got him killed. Except for the seriously wacked out race-baiters (see some of the posts by 2ndDivisionVet lately), this will turn into a crusade against corporate whitey. And believe it or not, they’ll turn Zimmerman into yet another victim in the process...
I forgot to add: Corey (the prosecutor) is going to be thrown under the bus by the race-baiters she’s trying to appease. And nobody will have her back.
She’s going to end in a worse place than Nifong.
To her: oh well, so sorry, b###h...
You should see the look on my face when I’d take a spoonful of Robitussin for a cough.
The stuff is gross and I make a disgusted,repulsed face. I need to take a swig of water,soda or juice to get rid of the taste.
Blech.

I believe your confusion as to the time can be traced back to the original Sanford Police Department report.
Trayvon Martin was shot at approximately 7:17 p.m. and he made he purchase before 6:30 p.m. The exact time of the purchase is in the Conservativetreehouse thread about Martin's purchase at the 7-11 (assuming the time stamp is correct on the security camera footage).
The calls George Zimmerman made to the non-emergency police dispatcher (he never called 911) were made starting not long after 7 p.m. and are time-stamped.
However, the police report was completed and filed after 3 a.m. That's the first time that appears at the top of it. A few lines down you'll find the time the police were called, which was hours earlier.
Somebody - some blogger, several bloggers - mistook the filing time for the time of the incident.
In discussing this outside of FR, you'll hurt your case if you argue that Martin was out at 2:30 a.m. He wasn't.
My comment was a general comment and I responded to your post because it seemed you *had* read the article. I’ve been following the comments over at that website and found them very informative.
I’ve been surprised, maybe shocked, at the depth of the chasm between the culture of the blacks and the culture of the whites. It’s probably the same for the hispanics too. The differences aren’t just attitudes, values and music. It’s two different worlds.
Where on earth do these kids get the money to support their lifestyle?
That’s it.....keep scouring the internet for any speculation that piles on a dead kid...doesn’t matter one bit if there’s zero proof...nor does it matter that the post-mortem drug test results have already been publicized...you’re a real gem.
You can thank a hip hop “artist” (who created it) for this the next time you have a hard time getting medication. Idiots that use medication meant for people who are actually sick being abused by lunatics. Then some punk ass decides they want to try it too.
Then he's either (1) have the bone on him, or (2) Had more THC in his system.
When the recreational drug cocktail called Purple Drank, Lean, Sizzurp, and other slang terms was first invented, it used cough syrups containing codeine. It still does - if you can get your hands on prescription cough syrup.
In one of his tweets, Trayvon asks if anybody knows how to get their hands on codeine.
Purple Drank - its influence, the 'famous' people it's killed, its influence on hip-hop 'culture', and so on, are covered in the Wikipedia article on Purple Drank.
However, not everyone can get his hands on prescription cough syrup, so there's another level of lean, purple drank, etc., made from over-the-counter cough and cold products containing DXM (dextromethorphan). The cold and cough medicines are mixed with Sprite and, for taste, Jolly Ranchers (or in one recipe common enough that it's in urban dictionaries, with Arizona brand Watermelon Fruit Punch and Skittles). Use of it slows does the world, apparently, like the codeine mixture, but DMX-based lean also can cause users to have violent outbursts. "in large doses it can result in a disassociative state, with hallucinations, similar to that produced by PCP or ketamine"'
Sounds as if you forgot to mix yours with enough Jolly Ranchers or Skittles, first dissolved in Sprite or Arizona Watermelon Fruit Punch.
Selling "Lean" to their friends. Remember he had money in his pocket. More than I normally carry in mine.
Can I make it up to you by contributing to the Saint Trayvon memorial fund, care of the New Black Panther Party and Jesse Jackson?
