Cops Say Miami Face Eater Zombie was on 'pot'

Actually, according to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner Department, his body didn't show "any other street drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs, or any adulterants found in street drugs."

But go ahead, write your own news. It's more exciting that way.
 
Well, isn't that the catch? That someone would actually imply that marijuana would make someone turn into a zombie and eat someone's face? That kind of ruins credibility from the get go.

I'm poking fun at the cnn article and how it implies it was pot.

Believe it or not, Foxnews' article about the findings didn't mention pot at all.

I have yet to see that implication from anyone other than you. The CNN article says that he had used pot, but doesn't say that's what allegedly caused such behavior. The article on PoliceOne states:

http://www.policeone.com/bizarre/articles/5787615-Tests-find-only-marijuana-in-face-chewers-system/ said:
MIAMI — Lab tests detected only marijuana in the system of a Florida man shot while chewing another man's face, the medical examiner said Wednesday, ruling out other street drugs including the components typically found in the stimulants known as bath salts.

There has been much speculation about what drugs, if any, would lead to the bizarre behavior that authorities said Rudy Eugene exhibited before and during the gruesome attack that left the other man horribly disfigured. A Miami police union official had suggested that Eugene, who was shot and killed by an officer, was probably under the influence of bath salts.

The Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner said in a news release that the toxicology detected marijuana, but it didn't find any other street drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs. Eugene also tested negative for adulterants commonly mixed with street drugs.

The department ruled out the most common components found in bath salts, which mimic the effects of cocaine or methamphetamine and have been associated with bizarre crimes in recent months. An outside forensic toxicology lab, which took a second look at the results, also confirmed the absence of bath salts, synthetic marijuana and LSD.

Messages left with the medical examiner's office for comment were not immediately returned.

An expert on toxicology testing said that marijuana alone wasn't likely to cause behavior as strange as Eugene's.

"The problem today is that there is an almost an infinite number of chemical substances out there that can trigger unusual behavior," said Dr. Bruce Goldberger, Professor and Director of Toxicology at the University of Florida.

So...yeah, where's the PD saying "it was the pot that did it"?

Did not help that CNN's headline link to the article is:
"Pot, not bath salts, cited in face-chewing"

I have a personal problem with intentionally misleading headlines and summaries (like the OP).

Yeah but the intent is clear. Otherwise what is the point of even posting that article? None other than to make pot look bad.
