something.

Accusations have been made that there was no good reason for GZ to call 911. GZ gave reasons to 911 on tape. One of those reasons was that the guy he saw was walking real slowly, even though it was pouring rain, and it looked like he was on drugs or something, he said. So this might support those reasons.

That's the only reason. It was pot. It doesn't paint TM as a social misfit. Little old ladies are "taking" pot for glaucoma these days, and lots of people with cancer. It's in the process of becoming legal. It's not like we're talking about crack or heroin.

I can understand it being admitted or not. Personally, while I think it does give credence to GZ's reasons for calling 911 to check TM out, I think it goes against GZ in that most people (myself included) think of pot as slowing a person down and making him more passive and mellow. I've never known anyone to get into a fight at the end of a pot high.
