[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 600915"] Again, not a commentary on the Zimmerman case, but the blood test for marijuana just detects the presence of marijuana but cannot measure the amount the way it can for alcohol or the timing like it can for other drugs. Because THC can remain in the bloodstream for weeks or even a month or more, there is no way of knowing if he was high at the time of his death or if he had used hours or days or weeks beforehand. It will become a real issue as marijuana is legalized and drivers are tested for impairment in DUI or OWI cases. Anyway, while pot may have a mellowing affect on many people, agitation is also common when the high wears off. Being high also has an agitating affect on some people, especially people prone to certain types of mental illness. It definitely agitates my difficult child in some form (while high or wearing off?) and I remember a few guys in college who were notorious for becoming out of control while high. I don't disagree that it is mellowing for many. [/QUOTE]
