The media made a big deal out of Trayvon Martin having weed in his system, but they continue to discount what George Zimmerman had in his body. Last week when Zimmerman’s medical records were released, it was revealed that he was on the prescription drug Temazepam. STORY: Key Zimmerman Witness Retracts Statement: "I'm No Longer Sure He Was Crying For Help" Temazepam, also known as Restoril, is known to cause insomnia and anxiety; however there are more important side effects that were not mentioned. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the drug is also known to cause “aggressiveness” and “hallucinations,” among other problematic symptoms. As Reported by the U.S. NLM: After taking Temazepam, patients should not be walking around trying to watch anything or anyone. They are cautioned that if they do not sleep for at least 7-8 hours after taking the drug, they may experience memory loss. Zimmerman was also on the often-abused prescription drug Adderall, which is known to cause "worsening mental or mood problems (eg, aggression, anxiety, delusions, depression, hallucination, hostility)." How will this affect the case? According to Steven J. Topazio, Attorney-at-Law, voluntary drug use does not excuse criminal acts: "Defendants who commit crimes under the influence of drugs sometimes argue that their mental functioning was so impaired that they should not be held accountable for their conduct. Generally, however, voluntary impairment does not excuse criminal conduct, since people know or should know that drugs affect mental functioning, and they should therefore be held legally responsible if they commit crimes as a result of their voluntary use. An exception to this rule may exist in cases involving a crime that requires “specific intent,” in which the offender must have intended the precise result that occurred but arguably could not have formed that intent in his or her drugged state." The prescription drugs that Zimmerman were taking had much more dangerous affects than a little bit of marijuana.

OK, I read through the whole article.... and I don't see anything in it, that means diddley-shit. UNLESS, of course, you're pushing an agenda. ARE you pushing an agenda, Baghdad Bri-bri??? LoonyMing: I brandish my ignorance like a crucifix at vampires. 'It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so fucking what?' —Stephen Fry
Yep. Zimmerman reportedly was on Adderal for ADHD. Its an amphetamine based drug which has sleeplessness as one of it's main side effects. He also reportedly takes Restoril or Temazepam, which generally is prescribed to be taken before bedtime as a sleep aid, probably to fight the Adderal side effect. It's the classic use of an upper with downers used for fighting the side effects, and needs to be cl;sely monitored by a doctor for untoward effects.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
How about that pic of your z-mann I posted. Good one, eh?
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
So does watching Ed Shultz and Rachel Maddow on MSLSD.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
I don't think it was drugs that caused that boy to attack Zimmerman.
Wavy Gravy used to have a desk at the L.A. Weekly once upon a time, but he is not Ed and does not work for MSNBC. ;-)
Translation: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
