A teenage boy died of head injuries after he fell down a flight of stairs while high on super-strength cannabis.
Yesterday the coroner at his inquest hit out at those who seek to trivialise drug use.
David Norkett, 17, bought the cannabis from dealers loitering outside a shop.
These are the kind of small-time criminals who could escape a jail sentence under the Government’s controversial new sentencing guidelines.
Coroner Peter Bedford said cannabis was the most likely cause of David’s death and called for greater awareness of the drug’s harmful effects.
He said: ‘Can we say that, if he hadn’t had cannabis, he wouldn’t have fallen?
The trio then went to a multi-storey car park in Reading, and smoked several joints.
His friends later told police that while they began ‘laughing and giggling,’ David was affected the most.
They said he became ‘hyper,’ crouching down and apparently deliberately hyperventilating before suddenly standing to bring on a fainting fit.
Seconds later, the inquest heard, he staggered backwards and fell head-first down the stairwell.
