I also could see the bloodshot eyes and they had a tad of slowed speech. I am sure if I would have checked their eyes I could have got them on vertical nystagmus also. It was all quite obvious lol. It wasn't just the body spray. That just made a better, funnier story lol.

According to the NHTSA marijuana does not affect VGN:

DEC Category: Cannabis
DEC Profile: Horizontal gaze nystagmus not present; vertical gaze nystagmus not present; lack of convergence present; pupil size normal to dilated; reaction to light normal to slow; pulse rate elevated; blood pressure elevated; body temperature normal to elevated. Other characteristic indicators may include odor of marijuana in car or on subject’s breath, marijuana debris in mouth, green coating of tongue, bloodshot eyes, body and eyelid tremors, relaxed inhibitions, incomplete thought process, and poor performance on field sobriety tests.
