"The Miami-Dade Medical Examiner found only marijuana in the body of the man who was fatally shot while chewing a homeless man's face over Memorial Day weekend.
The medical examiner's office said on Wednesday that 31-year-old Rudy Eugene's toxicology was complete.
"The department's toxicology laboratory has identified the active components of marijuana," the medical examiner said in a statement. "The laboratory has tested for but not detected any other street drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs, or any adulterants found in street drugs."
The department also ruled out common drugs found in the street drugs called bath salts, which authorities had initially speculated were the cause of the brutal attack on Ronald Poppo.
"Within the limits of current technology by both laboratories, marijuana is the only drug identified in the body of Mr. Rudy Eugene," the statement said."

Must of had a hell of a case of the munchies...
Well, from what I've read about bath salts, their manufacture and synthesis is that the 'chemists' change the synthetic components to stay one step ahead of the law. Once a certain bath salt is termed illegal, the chemist simply changes a molecule or three...and viola...no longer technically illegal. Wonder if this would have anything to do with bath salts not showing up in a toxology report?
The golden bit is back!
