Yep, they said they found THC (the wacky weed,cheeba,Marijuana). THC though is one of those drugs that can stay in your system from 2weeks to a month. So it may not play a part in that night. Depending on the level or not.

No.
THC remains detectable in the blood for only a few hours after smoking.
So Martin was either high or recently sober.

There are many variables to this, frequency, body fat and at what detectable levels. Also, the metabolites remain for many days. Forensics said it was negligible levels, indicating he was not recently impaired.

No there’s really not.
Blood tests detect the presence of illicit drugs, not inactive drug metabolites.
Edit: I mean inactive drug metabolites do show up, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
" Blood tests generally register positive for just a few hours after smoking, though heavy chronic smokers may be positive for a couple of days."
So unless he was smoking heavily for a prolonged period, he would have smoke recently.
Toxicology tests found elements of the drug in the teenager’s chest blood – 1.5 nanograms per milliliter of one type (THC), as well as 7.3 nanograms of another type (THC-COOH) – according to the medical examiner’s report. There also was a presumed positive test of cannabinoids in Martin’s urine, according to the medical examiner’s report. It was not immediately clear how significant these amounts were.
No precise levels on the urine were released.
Dr. Michael Policastro, a toxicologist, cautioned against reading too much into the blood THC levels, adding that one cannot make a direct correlation between those findings and a level of intoxication.
He also noted levels of THC, which can linger in a person’s system for days, can spike after death in certain areas of the body because of redistribution.
And Dr. Drew Pinsky, an addiction specialist who hosts a show on CNN’s sister network HLN, added that marijuana typically does not make users more aggressive.
Hrmmm… maybe then. From what I’ve read about passing blood tests, it only lasts for a few hours.

Yeah from what I understand they say it can be traced in the urine for up to a month depending on body fat and in the Blood for around 72hours. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. But this is the line they gave us in the military. hahahah and they could have been just trying to give us the heebejeebees
Remember when DarkNinja said that Zimmerman faked all his injuries?..haha that was a funny time.
^^Its funny how all the people on the Zimmerman Hate train have disappeared.

We had a guy get shot 4 times with a 38, once through the heart, and he’s walking around fine today. You might be surprised.

I’m pretty sure the metabolites from THC can show up in the urine for a week - month depending most on the metabolism of the person (for example I knew a guy with a screaming metabolism who claimed he had passed a piss test 2-3 days after smoking).
I think the 72 hours is for the metabolite in the blood.
Supposedly in DNA/hair testing it can show up for a year afterward.
Skittles and iced tea? I always was a cheetos/funyans and cherry coke kinda guy.

Right now, Zimmerman’s defense team has to sift through all the evidence the prosecution dumped on them.
The next hearing is scheduled for August 8th, I believe, and my understanding is that it probably won’t go to trial for at least a year.

Yeah it’s amazing what the human body can endure. I saw a video on liveleak of a Thai policeman cut in half above the waist after a traffic accident. He lay there quite calmly talking during the whole video.

^^lol.
I think that this could all be chocked up to a seriously tragic case of “wrong time, wrong place.” I think Zimmerman originally acted with good intentions but somewhere things went haywire and all hell broke lose.
It is definitely a sad and unfortunate situation… It’s horrible that a young man is now dead but I think all of the people calling for Zimmermans head on a platter early on definitely were off base.

No argument on the first part at all. But as a guy who has had to carry a gun for work for over 20 years and as a new/novice gun collector (only in the last 5 years) and a Concealed Weapons permit holder myself I can’t get around How BEYOND stupid his actions where that night.
I have no doubt he wanted to stop the bad guy from doing something. But thats just it. If you are thinking about safety of yourself and OTHERS and you see someone who may be up to something you don’t place yourself into a position where you may have to shoot ESPECIALLY with homes on all three sides of your shot zone. Thank GOD Trayvon was not a guy with a gun and bad intentions or people inside those homes would be on that list of sad situations.
Stay in your car, call the cops, call the other watch captains warn them and tell them to warn the people in that area by phone. GO home and wait for police.
The autopsy didn’t find any of zimmermans dna on martins hands. Martins hands only had a quarter inch cut on them.
If martin was beating zimmerman like the stories he’s been telling…martins hands would definitely be in. Pretty bad shape
Shouldn’t that be proof enough that this wasn’t martin attacking zimmerman?
Anyone here ever fight another person and come away with nothing wrong with their hands?
