Apparently, we are not reading the same news reports.

Yes, Martin had traces of the active ingredient (THC) of marijuana in his
system.  The facts are not clear, but as far as can be determined,
Zimmerman started following Martin, who in a phone call to his girl friend
during the episode paints the picture of Zimmerman as the
aggressor/pursuer.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/trayvon-martin-arrest-now-abc-reveals-crucial-phone/story?id=15959017

Attempting to blame Martin for his own death based on traces of THC in his
system is absurd,  Calming does not mean passive; it does not mean being
mentally deterred from self-defense or oblivious of threats from pursuing
zealots.

THC is an analgesic and calming agent:

Bill Zimmerman, PhD, et al., former President, Americans For Medical Rights
(AMR), noted in his 1998 book *Is Marijuana The Right Medicine For You?*:

"Before we describe what you should expect the first time you use
marijuana, you should know that many patients report that marijuana used
for medical purposes does not make them high at all. Patients fighting
nausea, for instance, often need to take only a few puffs to deal with
their nausea, and a few puffs may not be enough to produce any mental
effects.

The sensation of being high is quite subtle. Typically, it differs slightly
from one person to the next and from one experience to the next. There is
often a sense of amusement and well-being (euphoria). *There is a feeling
of relaxation and calm.* [...] People who are high seem to enjoy art, as
well as the simple appearance of things, more profoundly than at other
times. When marijuana produces effects like these, and the user is
accustomed to the effects, it can be quite pleasurable, which helps explain
why millions of people use marijuana solely for recreational purposes."

See paragraph G.

Google THC calm to attempt to educate yourself.

Maybe you should write a book:  *Locksmith Logic*, it would be placed in
the humor/comedy section and might be a best seller.
