<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Calibri>The point I was trying to make (and the
one you and hansen had to go out of your way to miss) is that
different people react in different ways to different substances. If you are at
all honest with yourself you would have to acknowledge that for every drunken
lout you have ever encountered that wanted to belligerently challenge
one and all there were likely two who wanted to wrap their arm around you
and slur earnestly in your ear that that you were their bestest friend
ever. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Calibri>It is my understanding that much of the
marijuana available in this day and age is several orders of magnitude more
potent then what ever Mr. Hansen and yourself likely "experienced" back in
the day. Effects of THC that you conveniently neglect to mention
include anxiety, agitation, confusion, and paranoia. While I readily concede
that the majority of potheads are relatively harmless fools concerned primarily
with the location of their next bong hit and bag of Doritos, it is not
unthinkable that a anxious and paranoid doper could present a danger to himself
or others around him.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Calibri>To make the broad blanket claim that
alcohol is disabling and disruptive while marijuana is calming is
absurd.</FONT></DIV>

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. <A

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.<BR><BR></SPAN></SPAN>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). <B style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)">There is a feeling of relaxation and
calm.</B> [...] 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."</SPAN></P><SPAN
