i know right. i mean not only did the car he was driving kill his sister and his two friends, but now he will get prison time for having thc in his system....they were prolly just bieng crazy high school kids, fucking around in the car and he lost control and hit the tree. It may have not had ANYTHING to do with weed, just bieng careless kids....now he's fucked/ was he high? or did he just have the thc element in his blood from a party two nights prior?

Who know's... I don't think I could ever live with that guilt on my conscious. Imagine his friend's parent's... losing both their kids too. I can't even imagine and I am not a parent either.

From what I have read, THC only remains in blood for like 4-6 hours.
