When you are in court for a case about substance addiction, the court can listen to any evidence it wants. The court is not limited to only hearing evidence that would normally be allowed in court. This means the court can consider any information it thinks is relevant, even if it's not usually admissible in a court of law, and you can find more information about similar laws by looking at the Substance Addiction laws.
