The amount of THC in Sandra Bland's system was negligible, and equal to placebo, according to neuroscientist Dr. Carl Hart, who has spent nearly 20 years researching the neurophysiological, psychological and behavioral effects of marijuana.
"Of course, the scientific evidence almost never supports these fantastic distractions,"Dr. Hart said."Yet, the 'drug-crazed black person' myth continues to be revitalized decade after decade by racists masquerading as public servants."
"I find this line of reasoning insulting and offensive," Dr. Hart said. "It seeks to misuse the science of behavioral pharmacology to excuse reprehensible acts perpetrated by the state or state proxies."
"As part of my research, I have given thousands of doses of marijuana to people and carefully studied their immediate and delayed responses," Dr. Hart said. "And I have never observed a marijuana-induced violent and self-destructive attack or anything remotely similar to the summer reefer madness put forth by desperate public officials."
"As part of my research, I have given thousands of doses of marijuana to people and I have never observed a marijuana-induced violent and/or self-destructive attack," Dr. Hart said.
"Bland's levels were well below the THC levels that I have found necessary to induce intoxication," Dr. Hart said.
