I'm glad Stewart was cleared.

But.
The whole "high on weed" is a joke. How do they know this? The shit stays in your system for months.

They said it was enough to know he was high at the time.

I dislike the people that are always looking for a free ride and use the courts to achieve that. If T.S. was a poor working class guy I dont see this going any further.

Tony Stewart will not face charges in deadly crash | Comcast

...snip....
A few hours after Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo announced the grand jury's decision in this upstate New York hamlet, the Ward family indicated in a statement read over the telephone by sister Kayla Herring that they will seek civil damages in the young driver's death.

"Our son got out of his car during caution when the race was suspended. All the other vehicles were reducing speed and not accelerating except for Stewart, who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car toward him, causing the tragedy," the family said Wednesday. "The focus should be on the actions of Mr. Stewart. This matter is not at rest and we will pursue all remedies in fairness to Kevin."

The family might have a difficult task: Tantillo disclosed that Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night he died and said two different videos were enhanced, frames were isolated and viewed at at least three different speeds and finally overlaid with grids and data. Both showed Stewart had done nothing wrong.

"The videos did not demonstrate any aberrational driving by Tony Stewart until the point of impact with Kevin Ward, at which point his vehicle veered to the right up the track as a result of the collision. Prior to that, his course was pretty straight," said Tantillo. He added that toxicology evidence from Ward's autopsy "indicates that at the time of operation he was under the influence of marijuana. The levels determined were enough to impair judgment."




...snip....

I would imagine the Ontario County District Attorney has experts who are well versed in testing blood for various levels of substances.

Give it a fecking rest. Go find me a drug guy that supports what you're saying and we'll talk. Until then, the authorities had enough evidence to say publicly in a very high profile case the kid was high. You really think any law enforcement would make a public statement in a case this high profile would not be able to back up their shit?

I was under the same suspicion as Larry for a long time. THC stays in the body loooong after the effects wear off...weeks even. The detectable THC levels do drop off significantly soon after use according to things I've read recently because of the push to legalize pot (which I am all for, btw).

NHTSA site

Interpretation of Blood Concentrations: It is difficult to establish a relationship between a person's THC blood or plasma concentration and performance impairing effects. Concentrations of parent drug and metabolite are very dependent on pattern of use as well as dose. THC concentrations typically peak during the act of smoking, while peak 11-OH THC concentrations occur approximately 9-23 minutes after the start of smoking. Concentrations of both analytes decline rapidly and are often < 5 ng/mL at 3 hours. Significant THC concentrations (7 to 18 ng/mL) are noted following even a single puff or hit of a marijuana cigarette. Peak plasma THC concentrations ranged from 46-188 ng/mL in 6 subjects after they smoked 8.8 mg THC over 10 minutes. Chronic users can have mean plasma levels of THC-COOH of 45 ng/mL, 12 hours after use; corresponding THC levels are, however, less than 1 ng/mL. Following oral administration, THC concentrations peak at 1-3 hours and are lower than after smoking. Dronabinol and THC-COOH are present in equal concentrations in plasma and concentrations peak at approximately 2-4 hours after dosing.

I am sorry that this woman lost her son, but she needs to shut the f**k up. Tony caused the tragedy? Pull your head out of your ass. Your idiot kid ran into the side of a moving race car. HE caused it. I know that may be hard to accept, but you better start trying.


It is PATHETIC that the first thing that comes to mind when something bad happens is to figure out where you can get money.
