Cannabis KILLS a man!

[luciddreaming]

Coroner blames death on 'toxic cannabis'

 

 

Hadrian Gardner, 17, who was known as Adie, collapsed in front of his father after work and began having a fit before suffering a heart attack and dying.

 

Hadrian, of Macclesfield, had had a long involvement in illegal drugs and was expelled from high school for drug use.

 

But the inquest heard he had begun to improve his life with a new job at Prestbury Village Restaurant,

 

On only his second day at work, his father was waiting to pick him up when he saw him emerge from the building and collapse.

 

Robert Gardner told the inquest at Macclesfield Town Hall: "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 10 seconds."

 

Despite resuscitation and six attempts at defibrillation by paramedics, Hadrian never recovered, the inquest heard.

 

Hadrian died at Macclesfield Hospital at 12.15am on October 8.

 

Geoff Roberts, the deputy coroner for Cheshire, said: "People use cannabis and think that it is a harmless property. We have heard clear evidence in this case that it is not. Very sadly, Hadrian 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.

 

"This case highlights that cannabis use is potentially life-threatening." Mr Roberts added: "We have heard how over a period of time, for some years, he had used cannabis and perhaps other illegal substances.

 

"This is a very sad case because, despite his turbulent past and cannabis use, he had got a job as a trainee chef. The post-mortem showed no findings of recent drug use.

 

"But his body was left a legacy of using cannabis in the past, which directly led to his death.

 

"My conclusion is that Hadrian died as a result of using drugs."

 

Dr Sally Hales, who carried out the post mortem examination, said the teenager had inflammation of the heart and that "a history of using cannabis, amphetamines and cocaine would appear to be the most likely cause".

 

Speaking after the inquest, Rick Palmer, Hadrian's former manager at the restaurant, 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."

Cause of death dose not appear to be attributed to cannabis alone but to multiupule durg use such as xcocain & amphetimines:

I think it is a gross misrepresentation to title this artical as you have luciddreaming :- "Cannabis KILLS a man!"

 

Prehaps I could suggest a title of "Amphetimines KILLS a man" or "Cocaine Kills a man" or "Diet kills a man".

Agree Nitty. I started to believe it until I got to the bottom of the article and found it was from the UK. Fucking wombats!!! wouldn't know shit from clay.

The guys heart gave in from his years of drug and probably alcohol abuse 1 person dying from heart failure does not constitute blaming it on pot the dude probably had some sort of defect which is the more likely truth.

 

Ha thats funny that the coroner turned out to be a nazi

I wasn't saying it killed him . It was sarcasm. Just pointing out the idiocy of that coroner who said Cannabis left him with heart problems or whatever. When he knew he also took amphetamines and coke.

 

How do you know he was a nazi? Who said that? haha that's awesome if he is, obviously not coz he's a nazi but coz it basically nullifies everything he says.

[bullseye]

what a big load of shit.

'no no he died of cannabis!! ... oh and he did do some harder drugs maybe'.

 

and did you read where it said his dad picked him up after his second day of work? yet his employer gave an excellent character reference saying how much of a hard worker he was.

they must have been bonding instead of working.

[Bazza]

they must have been bonding instead of working.

 

I think maybe the bonding was getting high together, then he staggers out and dies. Post mortem drug test results wouldnt surprise me to miss it.

 

He was obviously pretty fucked up for a 17 yr old

[MrMcDizzle]

Incompetent Coroner, he can't find cause of death, so he blames drug use from way back? What evidence does he have for that? What a crock of shit.

[daveo17]

there could have been extra chemicals in the pot he was smoking could have contributed. heard sum bad shit about the skunk over there

[Luke Skywalker]

What a complete joke of a finding. He died of a heart attack ffs. Coulda been the fatty food he ate, coulda been exposure to chemicals in early life, coulda been the amphetamines and cocaine, coulda been the root he had the night before, coulda been a susceptibility in his genes.

 

Nothing but sensationalist crap from a biased coroner who shouldn't be trusted to make a finding into the death of a budgie let alone a human being if that is the kind of conclusion he makes.
