Odd combination? I don’t know of many pot smokers who also do meth? Talk about your extreme opposites?

You're kidding, right?

You really believe that methheads have an aversion to smoking?

The autopsy results could not have been faked or he could not have been drugged before the crash.

Why have I become skeptical about everything the government says?

I doubt this. They should do a second autopsy. Oh. That’s right. They can’t.

THE CORONER CREAMTED THE BODY IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS AGAINST THE FAMILY’S WISHES.

Oh well. We’ll have to take their word for it. Not like our government would lie or anything, right?

It’s the pressure of working in an industry that regularly censors news to the masses so the Treason party can continue to take down the country.

“Odd combination? I don’t know of many pot smokers who also do meth? Talk about your extreme opposites?” <P.
Pot can stay in your system for weeks after it is consumed. Thus, just because they found pot “in his system” does not mean he was under the influence of marijuana, he may not have smoked any for over a week at the time of the accident.

Oh come on! Next thing you know you're gonna say that something's fishy about the Bin Laden kill just because there's no photos/videos, he was buried at sea somewhere on earth and the Team that killed him was exterminated after the Vice President outed them.

I'm just saying that the effects of drug A would diminish the effects of drug B. But then again, applying logic and reason to a person with addiction issues isn't all that smart to do.

I guess it's an overthink?

The number of FReepers who idolize this guy and who believe his death was a conspiracy boggles the mind.

First, the guy was an out and out leftist.

Second, the guy made a name for himself by getting a general who was critical of Barack Obama fired. In other words, he was not a journalist but a political activist working on behalf of the Obama administration.

Third, he was a junkie. His own wife, parents and brother say so. They also say they were trying to get him into rehab when he died.

Fourth, he was speeding at 4 in the morning on a Tuesday and crashed his car - given his lifestyle and the quality of driving practiced by people who have been up all night, it was unsurprising. His family believe it was exactly what it was - an accident.

Who are these FReepers who insist - against all evidence and common sense - that our leftist government deliberately killed one of its leftist lackeys who had been carrying water for them for years?

..... I saw another summary of the report that stated that there were only “Traces” of the substances present in the blood. The amounts were minimal thus alluding to use of the substances sometime in the past but not within 24hrs of the autopsy.

I think we should trust the government on this matter. Well, on every matter actually. They would never lie to us.

That combination is not odd in the least, its even common.
Ever hear of a “speedball”? Its a combination of heroin and meth taken intravenously. Very popular method among junkies. At least it was back when I was young.
