“Do you use any recreational drugs?” asked the officer, as captured on the body camera.

“No,” said Butler-Moore.

Well anyone can smell if someone had been smoking weed just as easy as knowing if someone had been drinking.

About five months after the arrest, her bloodwork came back. Colorado confirmed that Butler-Moore was not on drugs, no marijuana, no depressants, no alcohol. “Not even a trace,” reads the suit.

Did I say the dude was smoking weed or drinking alcohol ?, fuck no I did not. I said anyone can smell if someone had been smoking weed just as easy as knowing if someone had been drinking.

Learn to read shit for brains.

You often pop in to defend the worst behavior in cops, so that's what I assumed you were doing. Even without that context it would be hard to tell what you were saying. The assertion that someone can tell you're high from a "smell" is patently false.

I'd expect some basic manners and a little more common sense from someone your age, do better next time.
