The mystery deepens over what led an attacker to chew off most of another man's face as toxicology results are revealed.

Miami cannibal attack: Rudy Eugene and victim Ronald Poppo
Marijuana was the only drug found in the body of a face-chewing attacker shot dead as he ate his homeless victim's flesh.
Active chemicals from the drug were detected in Rudy Eugene’s system, but there was no sign of illegal or prescription drugs, or alcohol.
The 31-year-old's girlfriend had previously said he must have been drugged without his knowledge before the attack on 65-year-old Ronald Poppo in Florida.
The results were released weeks after a Miami police union official speculated that Eugene's bizarre behaviour may have meant he was under the influence of "bath salts", a synthetic stimulant which can cause aggression and hallucinations.
Another woman identifying herself as his girlfriend had suggested he might have been under the influence of a voodoo curse.
It remains unclear what led Eugene - said to be a religious man who read the Bible and the Koran - to take off all his clothes and carry out the grisly assault on Mr Poppo, who was also stripped naked and beaten.
The police officer who shot Eugene dead said he growled when he told him to stop before continuing to eat his victim.
Pictures released of Mr Poppo in hospital in the days after the attack showed the appalling extent of his injuries, with much of the skin on his face stripped away and his nose missing.

well, unless that weed was somehow modified, i doubt weed to be the cause. Also, bath salts typically can't be tested for as they develop new varieties all the time & use odd chemicals that aren't tested for. I wouldn't rule out voodoo, simply for the fact that paranormal occurances happen on an everyday basis. I'm not saying it was the cause, all I'm saying is that it might have been. after all, voodoo is said to be one of the most dangerous & most effective magics.

Weed definitely didn't cause him to do it. It has to be something else whether it be another drug or just insanity. I also find it funny how the media spread that it was bath salts based off of a "speculation" by police. :ha!:
"The department's toxicology laboratory has identified the active components of marijuana," medical examiner Dr. Bruce Hyma said in a statement. "The laboratory has tested for but not detected any other street drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs ... This includes cocaine, LSD, amphetamines (Extasy, Meth and others), phencyclidine (PCP or Angel Dust), heroin, oxycodone, Xanax, synthetic marijuana (Spice), and many other similar compounds."
