New Evidence: Trayvon Martin Had Drugs in His System
Time ^ | 5/17/2012 | By Madison Gray

New evidence released in the murder case of Trayvon Martin reveals issues that delve more deeply into what happened the night the teen was killed, although it does not seem to shine a brighter light on him or his killer, George Zimmerman.

Martin’s autopsy shows that he had the drug THC in his system, which is the active ingredient in marijuana, ABC News reported. The autopsy also revealed that the fatal gunshot wound in Martin’s chest was fired at close range, which may be consistent with other evidence that the two got into a fight of some kind. Zimmerman claimed to police that Martin attacked him and bashed his head into the pavement repeatedly. The autopsy showed a cut on one of Martin’s fingers, also indicating a struggle.

It can’t get into the urine if it isn’t in the blood. Thc is not stored in the bladder.

From a look at the lab report, the THC level was pretty low. (1.5ng/ml) and THC-COOH also low (7.3ng/ml)

What does that have to do with anything? The report says it was found in his blood so it had to have been consumed in two days or less.

Anything in the urine has to be in the blood to get into the urine. Therefore if thc can be detected in the urine for up to two months in heavy users, it can also be detected in the blood...... The actual blood level may help with timing to last dose, but the simple presence or absence of the substance does not

a) if Martin had given Zimmerman a chance to do exactly that, maybe so, only Martin apparently didn't give Zimmerman that chance;

You mean something like asking "Why are you following me?"

Even Angels like Trayvon need to smoke a bowl now and then.

Let us imagine that Zimmerman had traces of drugs in his system. What would the Media be doing right this moment?

That’s why he was wandering around. Trying to smoke his weed.

You’re ignoring the information given that says THC cannot be detected, by tests, in the blood more than two days after consumption. I hate to break it to you but the kidneys filter the blood. The metabolites that the kidneys filter out are concentrated in the urine. Obviously in higher levels than the blood itself carries. There must of course be THC in the blood for the kidneys to filter out but it doesn’t have to be in concentrations high enough to detect. Otherwise they wouldn’t say that it can’t be.

The Media acts surprised by things that intelligent unbiased people knew all along. It's a shame when a High Tech Lynching turns into a Crap Sandwich.

Wonder which “Journalist” will ask Obama his opinion of the Lynch Mob jumping to conclusions before the facts were out there for all to see?

They can also ask him if he thought the Weed Trayvon smoked was as good as the stuff he sold at Harvard.

Marijuana was the ONLY reason Trayvon was staying with his father in Sanford, Florida.

He had been suspended from school for possession.

Smoking at school.

Smoking in Sanford.

The defense case just got a little easier.

Holy crap I didn’t know that was released! Yeah to me he definately looks zonked. All I know is let’s see Al Sharpton work the late shift at a 7-11 and see how calm he remains when someone like this walks in, wearing a hoodie with his pants down past his ass, who keeps reaching down. Wearing a hoodie is so innocent isn’t it, just like this guy.....

These clerks go through this crap all the time and they are not allowed to arm themselves. They are at the full mercy of these pukes who at anytime could blow them away. It’s gambling with their lives for minimum wage.

“...why again is Zimmerman being charged with a crime?”

The same reason the voter intimidation crime of the New Black Pampers was dismissed.

It’s state-sponsored racism of the Negro Nazi party ruling America.

It’s an issue because THC-addicts are often paranoiacs who react aggressively to perceived (but not real) slights.

I don’t know why reefer-smokes are often perceived as laid back. In my experience they’re usually borderline psychotics.

All Zimmerman had to do was return to his vehicle, which apparently he was doing or was at least occupied with finding a street sign, according to the 911 recording. And all Martin had to do was continue on to his apartment. Somebody didn’t do what they were supposed to be doing; the dialogue seems to indicate that somebody was Martin.

From the girlfriend: “Trayvon said, ‘What are you following me for,’ and the man said, ‘What are you doing here.’ Next thing I hear is somebody pushing”

Let’s add in more of the alleged dialogue, that Martin asked Zimmerman if he had a problem with Martin, and Zimmerman responded ‘no’ and Trayvon said ‘well now you do’. Allegedly.

The galpal appears to substantiate outright that Zimmerman did try dialogue - just before Martin went psycho and used Zimmerman’s head for tai kuan do practice while straddling the smaller Zimmerman, starting with trying to relocate Zimmerman’s nose into his brain. Allegedly.

From what I see so far, if Zimmerman hadn’t had a gun to protect himself, he’d likely be the dead one instead of Martin, and Martin would still have forfeited his life - behind bars.

Anything beyond ‘what are you doing here’ will never be admissible in court. She wasn't there and doesn't have a clue if it was pushing or Traytable lunging at Zimmerman.

Imagine the non-stop Whore-media coverage we would be subjected to if the opposite were found...that George Zimmerman had drugs in his system.

I hope that GZ becomes a very rich guy over all of this Nifonging.

The body language of the store employee when Martin goes to leave and then turns back... tells me he was thinking about his safety too.

I noticed that too. Actually, in the video it looks like Martin was not sure where the exit was and had to find his bearings.
