Cannabis 'is not harmless' warns coroner after drug use triggers teenager's fatal fit
By Daily Mail Reporter, Mail Online
Last updated at 5:50 PM on 01st July 2009
A coroner has condemned claims that smoking cannabis is 'harmless' after hearing how it triggered the death of a teenager who had given up smoking the drug.
Cheshire deputy coroner Geoff Roberts said it was a misconception to think cannabis was safe to use after it directly led to the death of teenager Adie Gardner.
The 17-year-old suffered a fatal seizure in front of his father in October last year just months after quitting cannabis to take up his first ever job.
Doctors who examined the the trainee chef's body confirmed Adie had not taken cannabis in the run up to his death.
But the coroner heard how his body had been ravaged so badly by the effects of his past misuse that it killed him.
An inquest in Macclesfield, Cheshire, was told Adie had fallen victim to a 'legacy' of using the drug in the past .
Mr Roberts said: 'People use cannabis and think it is a harmless property. But we have heard clear evidence in this case that it is not.
'Very sadly this young man died as a result of the direct toxic effects on the heart that the use of cannabis had, as such it was an avoidable death.'
Mr Roberts ruled Adie's death was caused as a result of using drugs.
The coroner added the teenager had used cannabis over a period of time and that his death was all the more tragic as he had given up the drug and was turning his life around.
'This is a very sad case because despite his turbulent past and cannabis use, he had got a job as a trainee chef,' the coroner said.
'The post mortem showed no findings of recent drug use. But his body was left with a legacy of using cannabis in the past which directly led to his death.'
Adie, whose real name was Hadrian, led a 'turbulent' life taking drugs and was expelled from the former 1,000 puil Henbury High comprehensive school, the coroner was told.
The teenager had suffered a heart attack the year before his death, but had vowed to turn his life round after being offered a place on a scheme run by Cheshire Fire Service aimed at 'hard to reach' youngsters.
He visited fire stations and learned how to be good citizen before taking a 'big step forward' in taking a job as a trainee chef at Prestbury Village Restaurant.
He died in October last year on only his second day at work.
Adie's father, Robert Gardner, told the inquest he was waiting to pick his son up from the Village Restaurant when his son began to fit.
He told the hearing: 'He came out of the restaurant, crossed the triangular piece of grass and then stumbled and fell on the pavement.
'It was a bit surreal. He fitted for about ten seconds.'
Paramedics rushed to the scene but battled in vain to save him and he was later pronounced dead at Macclesfield Hospital.
Dr Mark Nicol, who treated the teenager at Macclesfield A&E, said in his report that the case was 'unique' as he had been admitted to A&E in 2007 after suffering a heart attack. On that occasion, doctors were able to revive him.
Dr Nicol said, 'Drug problems were acknowledged at that time. This case highlights that Cannabis is potentially life threatening.
Dr Sally Hales, who carried out the post mortem, said in her report to the coroner that there were no traces of cannabis or other illegal drugs in Adie's body when he died.
Dr Hales examined the heart and concluded the teenager had myocarditis - an inflammation of the heart.
She said 'a history of using cannabis, amphetamines and cocaine would appear to be the most likely cause' of the teenager's death.
After the inquest, Adie's former boss at the Prestbury Village Restaurant paid tribute to the youngster.
Manager Rick Palmer said: 'He was a nice lad who worked hard. He was reliable, no trouble and good to work with. His death was a total shock to us all.'

OMFG. I cannot even believe this. This is one of the most ridiculous piece of "news" ever written. It makes me want to go fucking kill people.
I just hope that nobody believes this piece anti-drug bullshit. They are trying more and more drastic measures, and more and more ridiculous stories to keep such a harmless plant illegal.

When I saw the headline, I just knew it had to be out of the UK. It seems papers from the UK, especially the Daily Mail, spews this nonsense.
The kid showed no evidence of current drug use, previously used meth and coke, and had a prior heart attack. It is irresponsible of the coroner to make such statement regarding cannabis and for the paper to print it.

WTF. The coroner should be fired for being a dumbass. The reporter should be fired for being a dumbass and I feel like a dumbass for wasting my time reading that propaganda.

Did you know America ranks the lowest in education but the highest in drug use? It's nice to be number one, but we can fix that. All we need to do is start the war on education. If it's anywhere near as successful as our war on drugs, in no time we'll all be hooked on phonics. ~Leighann Lord

This makes it sound like Coke and Meth have no effect on his death and it is all the Weeds fault. I wonder if the coroner thinks he would have lived if he was still smoking Weed. This kind of sh!+ just pisses me off.

Blame it on the amphetamine and cocaine! He might have had a weak heart and a genetic disposition for strokes, seizures or heart attacks. Weed is mostly smoked together with tobacco, which does not improve the situation either. Hemp oil for example would never have such an impact, on the contrary it might have even cured his disposition!

To dial 01625 fro the us I believe you must first enter the international code +44 and then remove the proceeding "0" from the number. I have no promises that this info is correct, but I've got two addresses and phone numbers, one is his office the other is his home. I haven't called the son of a bitch yet, I'm waiting to be super medicated so I don't get angry.
