re: Grass Kills! Kevin Ward Jr. was racing while high. Tony Stewart exonerated.

Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night he was hit and that there was enough of the drug in his system 'to impair judgement'.

There's a theory held by some who study addiction and substance abuse which is that people who have "unusual" reactions to high risk situations are more prone to be susceptible to substance abuse. An example would be someone holding a gun to your head, and you didn't feel fear until later. I'm not saying all guided tower climbers, pilots, formula 1 drivers, and X Game contestants are alcoholics or pillheads, but delayed reactions to fear is an indication something is no bueno in la cabeza.
