Maybe bath salts not to blame for face eater in Florida

[CowboyMcCoy]

Not saying they assessed any blame as to what caused the guy to act out like he did. No "accusations" were made. I agree with you. Some of us are just speculating about what the lab results might be interpreted to mean, by some.

If all they found was pot in the guy's system, why is it farfetched to think people would respond to that fact by wondering if that's what they were going to try to pin it on? Conspiracy theories must be challenged before they can even be acted upon by the egregiously evil powers that be.

From my point of view, I'm just speaking to the"possibility" somebody... some agency... might take the lab results and use them to push an agenda, in the event no other evidence can be found to link to the behavior. But, like you said, and I agree, nothing in the article says pot was determined to have been the cause of the guy's actions, just that no bath salts were detected; that "Rudy Eugene had only pot in his system."

​

The connection to pot being to blame... if only in part... exists by that stated fact, IMO. They didn't SAY pot was to blame, but the inference of the possibility is what some of us are questioning. Could pot be to blame in some way, since that's all they claim to have found?

You may be exactly right in your hypothesis, if I understood what you were suggesting was a possibility. Could be a deranged act of a mental illness -- an extreme psychosis of some kind -- as in the story of the Murder of Tim McLean you linked, and I read. A correlation could be drawn between the two events, I can see that.

Hope the entire truth comes out in time.

It's not necessarily the effect the drug causes in itself, it's the effects many drugs can have and produce certain brain states, where someone would even want to chew the flesh off someone's face.

I mean, something goes wrong there. That's not normal. I don't think pot would be the cause of something like this. Either he is susceptible to certain brain states, naturally, or it could have been one of any number of hundreds of drugs people get high on these days. Look at the synthetic marijuana market. It's made so people can't detect it on drug tests. But it's synthetic, and I can say that it's not a 'natural high'... on the other hand, I wouldn't know about the other.......

In any case, this guy was already nuts. It probably weren't really the pot that made hims do dat.

Nowhere in the article does it say the guy did anything he did BECAUSE of marijuana. All they say is that all they found was marijuana in his system.

Some have chosen to interoperate that as some kind of accusation for some ridiculous reason.

While I am sure there are a few that will use this to further their anti-weed views, the fact of the matter is that all that's been stated here is the results of the tests. Claim you "don't buy it", is absolutely ridiculous. Like someone is pushing a pro bath-salt and anti-weed agenda in the medical labs?

NOTE: Hahaha. Was gonna edit out some of this wordy post, but CM was too quick on the draw and replied to it, so I put it back as was.

BTW, the part in bold black would be a stupid thing for anybody to say and mean, IMO. I didn't say it. Nobody who's posted in this thread said that, unless I missed it. Not the "pro bath salt" thing, anyway. Anti-weed agenda, who knows? It's been pushed before... e.g. "Reefer Madness"... and people still discuss whether or not it continues to be pushed by the federal government to this day.

I was able to see your point (in my last post). Can you see mine? Are you just picking nits or are you really offended that some might question how it was that pot was the only thing reported to have been found in Rudy Eugene's system? Again, not saying the lab reports assessed the blame for the bizarre events that took place on pot. They found pot in his system. That's what they said.

If I failed to fully explain myself in my earlier posts, I apologize. Nothing meant to come across as me knowing what to think, for sure.

FWIW, I never have used or even tried weed, so I'm no expert the subject. Just going by what I've heard, read and seen. Registered a quick opinion or two, that's all. Neither pro- or anti-marijuana, so I have no agenda here.

I've heard of the munchies, but that's ridiculous.

Dude, that's up there with probably the funniest joke you've ever made. Nice.

Agree. Very nice one Hostile.

Sorry, not buying it. Either someone screwed up the lab reports or the medical examiner in question is a moron. Nobody strips naked, finds a homeless man, chews off his face and growls at the police under the influence of marijuana.

This.

There is only one logical explanation for this story: He was a zombie.

I'm on board with this.

I agree

What's your problem boy? Buying into the propaganda?
