We also don't know how much THC would have been needed to impair his decision making as he could have been a chronic user with higher baselines.
Also, it could very well be that the THC reduced his anxiety and stress levels and allowed him focus better. Yes quiet the opposite of what we may be thinking. A recent German study not long ago concluded that THC was effective in treating ADHD.
There is no doubt there are dozens of questions we will never know the answer to. THC has many beneficial uses while at the same time can also cause poor judgment and/or impairment. We don't know how it affected KW. Did it affect his decision to get out of the car? Or was that age? Or possibly a combination of both?
All we have are our opinions, many based on personal experiences and personal bias. In this case, as we will never have the actual answer - none of us are right and none are wrong - but still fun to debate and talk about.
