[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1222448, member: 28856"] I just have to say, yes it was Arizona brand, and they are known for iced tea, but in this instance it was their "watermelon" flavor which can be used in the "purple drank" drug cocktail that includes some forms of cough syrup and candy to help mask the flavor to make it more palatable. This explains the liver damage for drug use, which the pot won't. Both though show a history of substance abuse which tends to lead to other illegal acts. I have my problems with people using pot, but that alone isn't an issue since it's a fairly benign drug, but when you add another substance into the equation it does have some credence to substance abuse. Hard to deny many who suffer from substance abuse don't refrain from other crimes to sustain it if they don't have employment to cover it. I doubt a teenager like Trayvon would have the funds through legitimate sources to sustain it, especially since he was in another city at the time and a high school student. [/QUOTE]
