Who are "we"? You should speak with a prosecutor before informing anyone. What evidence goes in front of the jury is strictly within the province of the trial court. If you are law enforcement you should not be doing opiates without a prescription and you certainly should not fill out police reports while under the influence of illegal drugs. If you have done this, arrest yourself immediately and throw the book at yourself.
