A mother was told she was lucky to avoid jail after a 13-year-old boy died following a visit to her drug-ridden home.
Jennie Parker, 37, admitted allowing cannabis to be smoked by teenagers at her house in Sloan Drive, Bramcote where Joshua Clarke was a caller.
Nottingham Crown Court was told he had taken heroin before he arrived at her house on 26 February 2017 and then took cannabis and drank alcohol.
Shortly before midnight, he became ill and later suffered a cardiac arrest. He died the next day, the court heard.
Parker pleaded guilty to permitting cannabis to be used in her home and received a one-year prison term, suspended for 18 months.
The judge, who acknowledged Parker did not cause the boy's death, said the sentence followed national guidelines, which he described as being "surprisingly low."
He said the boy's death should give cause for reflection by those seeking to liberalise drugs laws and told Parker: "There will be no second chances. Think yourself very lucky indeed."

Owner of Notts County Alan Hardy has been banned from driving after travelling at 77mph in a 40 zone.
At Nottingham Magistrates' Court, the 54-year-old described himself as "the busiest man in the world" and claimed a driving ban would cause exceptional hardship on himself and his family.
Peter Quinn, prosecuting, said there were clearly marked 40mph signs along the A52 Clifton Boulevard where Hardy was caught speeding on 5 March this year.
Hardy claimed it was because he drives an electric BMW which makes no noise at whatever speed he is travelling.
“It’s not like I leave a trail of destruction behind me..."
“This was a temporary lack of concentration and perhaps I need to change my car.
District judge Leo Pyle banned Hardy for three months, fined him £2,430 and ordered him to pay £170 victim surcharge and £620 costs.
The joint Europe-Russia mission to the Red Planet in 2020 will investigate an ancient water-altered terrain.
