The Dangerous Truth about Today's Marijuana
Presented by VCOE
Instructor: Dr. Laura Stack
Laura Stack’s 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide on November 20, 2019, after becoming psychotic from dabbing high-THC marijuana concentrates. Soon afterward, Laura started Johnny’s Ambassadors, to educate parents, teens, and communities about the dangers of today’s high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide. In this session, Laura will share the story of Johnny’s marijuana addiction from a parent’s point of view, a poignant chronicle of the shocking descent from innocence to eventual suicide. Laura’s real-life story is backed by recent scientific research on how today’s THC products can harm our youth. Laura Stack is best known in the business world as “The Productivity Pro.” Her career as a keynote speaker, bestselling author of eight books, and corporate spokesperson came to a screeching halt when her son died. Her platform now brings prevention education to drug prevention conferences, community groups, and schools to stop youth marijuana use.
