Sure. But I didnt say he wasnt high. Im saying that just because he was high doesnt mean his anxiety was raised. Or that he wouldnt have been as scared sober. Or that it actually contributed to his death...

Are you an expert on Meth to say that for sure?

I'm no expert on meth either, but I've done enough nightshifts at a 7/11 to know that tweakers are just as strong and agile as a typical mid-weight MMA fighter when backed into the corner by cops. As well as their health is just as fragile too. Once the cops find out that a suspect in under the influence of drugs, it's pretty much a mandate to excessive force to subdue them.

Junkies themselves in those situations adopt a self-victimization mentality thinking they've done nothing wrong, because it's everyone's fault but their own. One minute they are chasing dragons in their own personal heaven, next thing you know a team of cops is crushing your head into the pavement. Double-down on the culture clashing on being "black in america", while dealing with cops..... THEN seeing the situation multiply, when the cops have to increase their force in taking the junkie down....

...so it's foolish to think anyone's anxiety wouldn't be raised in those situations.
