" Damien described past experimentation with the following drugs/compounds: gasoline, propane, spray paint, glue, cocaine, acid, marijuana, speed, caffeine (sodas), tobacco (1 1/2 packs per day), and alcohol (ps. 234, 105, 168, 227, others). He denied regular use (other than tobacco) and said he had given them up because they interfered with his religious practices. In his two drug tox screenings taken three months apart, he was negative to all drugs tested, including alcohol (ps. 251, 397)."
PLease provide documentation of the drug screens. Why are they not in the court documents? I have not found documentation of these anywhere except the fan club sites for the Memphis Three.
Here is the evidence that statistically moves DE’s likelihood of committing a violent crime into the very scary violence rates of schizophrenics and bipolars that abuse substances. Read the affidavit of George W. Woods, M.D. here:

Damien said: “He finally found relief in his own form of medication. He instinctively turned to inhalants and began “huffing” gasoline; he thought he “invented it.”
The chemicals found in solvents, aerosol sprays, and gases can produce a variety of additional effects during or shortly after use. These effects are related to inhalant intoxication and may include violence, belligerence, acute psychosis, and impaired functioning in work or social situations.

The MacArthur Violence Risk Assessment Study found that 18% of people with a psychiatric disorder committed at least one act of violence in a year. It found that 31% of people who had both a substance abuse disorder and a psychiatric disorder committed at least one act of violence in a year.
Rates of violence in schizophrenics compared:
5.1% in control group without a mental health disorder
27.6% in schizophrenics with a substance abuse disorder
Percentage of people convicted of at least one violent crime, 1973–2006

Rates of violence in people with bipolar disorder compared:
3.4% in control group without a mental health disorder
21.3% in bipolar individuals with a substance abuse disorder

In summary, Damien Echols admitted that he had abused many substances and chronically inhaled a volatile solvent (gasoline). In fact, Damien thought he had invented huffing. The inhalation of volatile substances causes numerous mental disturbances including belligerent, violent behavior, delusions and hallucinations. Statistically since Damien is diagnosed with
both schizophrenic and bipolar disorder, he was 5 to 8 times more likely to commit a violent crime/year than someone without a mental health disorder.
). I have been on the Callahan site now for the last couple hours looking for the info on the wax (Haven't even started looking for the necklace stuff yet.) because I am trying to stay away from all blogs and forums and just look at facts. Because it is now Monday it is also now finals week and I have 2 finals and a midterm this week, so my time is going to be kind of limited, but I am still digging and looking forward to discussing this further!
