"Another senseless drug-related death." - The X-Police

An initial toxicology report for Sandra Bland, who died in a Texas jail cell three days after her arrest during a traffic stop, raises the possibility that she may have used marijuana while in custody, two experts said.
The amount of THC, one of the active components of marijuana, in Bland's system was 18 micrograms per liter, according to the report released Monday. That's more than three times the legal limit for drivers in Colorado and Washington, states that permit the recreational use of marijuana.
"I don't think it's possible to rule out the possibility of use while in jail," said University of Florida toxicology professor Bruce Goldberger, who reviewed the report for The Associated Press. Bland was impaired by marijuana at the time of her death, Goldberger said.
Bland, a black 28-year-old from suburban Chicago, was found dead in the Waller County jail on July 13. Authorities have said Bland hanged herself with a garbage bag, a finding that her family disputes. She was in custody after a traffic stop for failing to use a turn signal escalated into a physical confrontation with a white state trooper.
Robert Johnson, chief toxicologist at the Tarrant County medical examiner's office in Fort Worth, Texas, told the AP that a THC level as high as Bland's suggests she "either had access to the drug in jail or she was a consistent user of the drug and her body had accumulated THC to the point that it was slowly releasing it over time."
But, Johnson added, "I have never seen a report in the literature or from any other source of residual THC that high three days after someone stops using the drug."

Who visited her or did she have it stuffed in her rear?
She ate her stash.
Managed to get it into jail and ate it, or ate it before getting busted.
This does not excuse the police officer for what he did.
Yep. It's released relatively slowly when eaten.
Hey Gunner,
Except, doesn’t it needs heat to make it effective, just eating it is getting rid of the evidence. Unless she had a liquid component (did you know they make TCH oil for vapor machines? ) which apparently can be really vicious.
She be schroomin’ before she be hanging.
She put it up her snizz, saw it on an episode of South Park once..but instead of it being weed it was a nuke, and it was in the snizz of Hillary Clinton

If she was eating the brownies, then yes. High dose brownies can provide +/- 20 MG of THC, IIRC. So can Marinol pills. do we have a pharmacist who can add and/or correct anything here?
Most effective, anyway.
If you mow down on an ounce it'll get to ya.
Probably ate MJ laced brownies.
Most likely got it in jail or someone pulled a fast one and mixed it into her food.
He did nothing except yell at a combative, disrespectful blacklivesmatter protester who was also mentally ill and probably stoned.
Ohhh-kay.
She had 18.
"Looking at the autopsy results and toxicology, it appears she swallowed a large quantity of marijuana or smoked it in the jail," Mathis said in a text message to Lambert that the attorney provided to Reuters.
Sure.
How dare he ask her to get out of the car.
What a national disgrace.
Did she get a body cavity search before they locked her up?
Stomach acid activate the THC.
