Don Lemon Sparks sour response With Marijuana Comment In Ferguson
The CNN anchor was describing the scene from outside the Ferguson police station Monday night, just moments after the announcement that police officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted for killing unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Speaking with Anderson Cooper, Lemon reported hearing the sounds of gunfire and seeing protesters jumping on cars.
And then he said: "Obviously, there is the smell of marijuana in the air."
But to viewers at home, that wasn't obvious at all. The comments immediately sparked backlash on Twitter:

Mary Jane is a drug not usually associated with violence so this does not seem to make sense.

Mary Jane is, however, a very common drug, and probably very available to the people who engage in these types of "protests for social justice."
Some people smoke MJ for recreational purposes. And some people riot for the same reason.
Mary Jane is a drug not usually associated with violence so this does not seem to make sense.
Brown had indications of marijuana use in his system and his companion testified that they went to the store to get cigarillos and then were going to get high off of pot.
What the perception that pot does not make you violent, that wasn't the case on August 9 in Ferguson.
