Cannabis triggered the death of a teenager who had given up the drug, an inquest heard.

Adie Gardner suffered a fatal seizure in front of his father – months after quitting cannabis to take up his first job.

But the 17-year-old's body had been ravaged so badly by the effects of his past misuse, it killed him, doctors said.

Deputy coroner Geoff Roberts, who ruled that Adie died as a result of using drugs, told the inquest in Macclesfield: 'People use cannabis and think it is a harmless property. But we have heard clear evidence in this case that it is not.'

Adie died in October on just his second day as a trainee chef.

Post-mortem tests showed he had myocarditis – an inflammation of the heart.


I for one would like to see this 'clear evidence' in greater detail.
 
what? makes no sense, and the obvious conclusion here is that cannabis kills 8)

The sad part is that if they put this on main stream media, 80% of the viewers will believe it.:(
 
Thats just retarded, as is anyone who believes this so called (yet oddly missing) clear evidence. Whoever wrote this should get a nice hard kick in the balls...
 
1) seems like the kid was doing a ton of other drugs and probably had some genetic predispositions to heart disease...

2) and then out of the green they say " people think marijuana is harmless, but that is not true", w/d it being supported by anything in the story.

1+2=MJ killed chef to be 8):X:!:(

They just said MJ cuz they need good anti weed propaganda since there is discussion going on about legalizing MJ

Who's They? The media dosn't need "anti weed propaganda", it just needs sensational stories. If they could print " Cannabis causes miracle virgin birth" they would, and alot of people would read it.

Anyway, sounds like the Corener just sucks at his job to me.8)

You can say that again, I second it.

WTF? Cannabis does NOT kill! I just hate it when people write these horror stories only to make drugs look evil. If this was really true, many folks would be dying from smoking it - and the few people I've know who used to smoke weed are very much alive and well.

Metro is a pretty mainstream paper here in Wales.
Its given out for free around our cities and I think is available elsewhere.
Propaganda in the media is just rediculous 8)
 
I personally believe anti drug propaganda is very much real in the media today, all over the world. As for the details of how it happens or for what reason, that's another topic, but the fact that anti drug is the only way our media reports is I think obvious and doesn't need much further explanation.
 
There is clearly no causal link between this person's cannabis usage and his death. He died from myocarditis, for chrissakes!

This is just bad journalism; bordering on criminally libelous.
 
^ *gets in line for head bangin' space*


Is this a joke? lol wooow.... And he hadn't smoked for months so he could start his cooking job, but was on his second day.. wtf kitchen springs for more than a piss test... LOL wtf kitchen drug tests at all?? haha isn't that the whole point of working food service? =p

I have epilepsy. I had two grand maul seizures within a day when I was 13. I was told by my neurologist(ranked as one of the best in the SE) that if I ever smoke weed or do any drug it would trigger a seizure. I'm 21 now and have been off tegretol for 5 years so I can't beleive weed triggered the seizure. My seizures were never explained and a good percentage of incidents have no specific reason or catalyst for it. Just my experiance.
 
The kid probably just had a flu vaccination and had a fatal reaction to it. The medical industry is good at shifting blame. Don't believe their propaganda.

Cannabis 'is not harmless' warns coroner after drug use triggers teenager's fatal fit

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.'

So how do they justify the leap from this theory ^ to this supposed fact > Cannabis kills 17 year old?
