Trayvon Martin Had Drugs in System, Autopsy Found
ABC ^ | May 17, 2012 | MATT GUTMAN

Posted on 05/17/2012 2:11:52 PM PDT by ironman

Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer, had the drug THC in his system the night of this death, according to new information obtained by ABC News.

The revelation came as prosecutors in the case prepared to release to the public hundreds of pages of new evidence along with videos and crime scene photos.

Martin's death sparked public outrage after police released Martin's shooter, George Zimmerman, without any criminal charges for the killing.

Zimmerman, 28, is a multi-racial Hispanic man who shot the black high school junior at close range on Feb. 26, and claimed self-defense, though Martin was unarmed. Zimmerman was later charged with second-degree murder, and the killing provoked widespread debate about racial profiling.

“Does it surprise anybody the kid had been smoking weed?”

He couldn’t have been smoking weed. He went to the store to get him some skittles. axe anybody. End of story.

Zimmerman soaked his bullets in THC?

And as if by magic....Zimmerman is now referred to as "multi-racial!"

Actually.....

Ill-Effects of Cannabis Use

Users can become disorientated and start to hallucinate and they may become angry, depressed or anxious after the initial feeling of well being wears off. One 17-year-old recreational user describes the down side for him as “getting the fear.” He says: “I start to panic and think everyone’s talking about me”.

had the drug THC in his system

So the poor child had a medical condition which may have affected his behavior on the night he was murdered. /s

People who smoke a lot of pot don’t get sleepy like that; they’re used to it. My cousin’s hubby smokes it all the time. He holds down a good job and everything, it makes him energetic.
Martin was clearly a big dope smoker from his other infraction at school and his twitter where others were asking him for :”trees”. I doubt it made him sleepy, and apparently not considering he was walking around to the store and beat a the crap out of a man. Zimmerman’s injuries including the report from medics and the doctor the next day along with the pics is all you need to know about this case.
UNLESS Zimmerman attacked Martin first then this case is a fraud.

****************************************************
Fox News just showed the photo and said it was made by one of the first responders with his cellphone.

“Excuse me but I call BS on that statement.”

It is true, this is one drug that you can believe almost any story. One of its most interesting effects is that you loose your orientation in water. I’ve seen a professional diver drown in knee deep water while trying to wash off the blood from the murder he just committed and a bunch of kids who were excellent swimmers drown in pools at parties. If PCP is taken along with marijuana the brain goes into overload...nasty combination.

I do belive most Freepers know what THC is, lol.

Tonight we’ll hear from Brian, Diane, Chrissy, etc. how THC is “just” pot (that is, of course, if the MSM decides to report on this story!). Just as we heard today that Zimmerman’s injuries “were not that serious”.

It's starting to sound like Trayvon might have been doing a little wanndering around on the way back home smoking a doobie, and was afraid he'd get busted if GZ called the cops on him. GZ said he ran from him and disappeared behind one of the buildings. It's possible he ditched the weed back there, then came back to confront GZ, and decided to play a little "Knock King".

This is I think as well.

Apparently, one of the officers who responded to the scene took the picture on his iPhone. He didn't submit it until March 18th, when he found out that no one else had taken photos of Zimmerman's injuries.

THC generally makes you pretty docile. Throughout pot history people have been lacing weed with other products.

Biochemistry being what it is today who knows. Maybe it came from Fukushima....Do they glow in the dark. Of course now they are in the dark most of the time.

Meth is the big enemy now and is bigger than all the other drugs put together.

“Now ABC is saying Zimmerman is “multi-racial” — I guess their attempt to misinform backfired and they have to come up with a new meme.”
*************************************************************
Yep, now that the bogus “innocent Trayvon” story is falling apart a number of different media sources are gradually “walking it back”.

Not only did this ABC article describe Zimmerman as a multi-racial Hispanic, they also used words such as “..... Martin’s shooter, George Zimmerman,....” (instead of writing “..Martin’s killer...” as they did in earlier articles) and they did not use a picture of a middle-school student Trayvon but one that could be construed as more threatening.

I hope that Zimmerman comes out of this as a millionaire as the Duke lacrosse players did.

Gang members constantly smoke weed, they don’t seem too mellow to me.
