It does but it could also be that maybe there was evidence of pot or alcohol use from a couple days ago but nothing within the last 24 hours. So the judge might not see it as relevant enough to the case.
Looks like that is what it was.

That?s a mistake that only serves to distort an already contentious case. The levels of THC detected don?t reflect Martin?s character or even his state of mind the night he was shot. For one, they are so low as to almost certainly not be connected to recent intoxication: 1.5 nanograms of THC were found as well as 7.3 nanograms of THC-COOH, a metabolite of THC that can stay in the system for weeks after cannabis has been smoked. Immediately after inhaling, THC levels typically rise to 100 to 200 nanograms per milliter of blood, although there can be a great deal of variation.
