You also omitted the morphine found in his urine from your post.

My information is taken from toxicology laboratories who do these analysis. The morphine in the urine (86 ng) is well below the 2000 ng to fail a simple drug test, meaning it's irrelevant and only trace amounts.
The video is interesting, but he is making a lot of assumptions, like the drug that Floyd was on (speed ball or goof ball) instead of looking at the actual results of the autopsy and tox report. The "studies", well he also discusses the weaknesses of those studies and that they are not consistent in findings or even methodology. The doctor even admits the lab numbers were in tolerable ranges and were unlikely to contribute to the death of Floyd. As he stated, the baseline numbers from the lab report cannot be viewed in a vacuum, and you must look at the body of the individual (Floyd was a large man in good shape but with underlying medical conditions he likely was unaware of). This guy is looking for all sorts of reasons for Floyd's death instead if look at the video where the guy clearly says "I can't breathe" multiple times, and the 200 pound police officer continues to keep a knee on his upper back and neck.
