It's horrific what it does to your brain. There's widow and widower, there's orphan. And I am now Trevor's voice because when he was in his active addiction it wasn't my story to tell.
What happens when the promise of a harmless high turns into a nightmare? In this deeply moving episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev brings together the voices of California Cannabis Victims. These are parents who have faced the unimaginable loss of their children due to cannabis addiction. Their stories are raw, painful, and profoundly human, offering a stark reminder of the dangers associated with high-potency THC.
The episode doesn’t just recount tragedies; it also serves as a call to action. These brave parents endure judgment and bullying to share their experiences, hoping to spare other families from similar heartbreak. They discuss the shortcomings in addiction treatment and highlight the life-saving potential of naloxone, an opioid reversal agent. As you listen, you'll hear about Daniel Reader, Shane Robinson, Jolo Talay, Trevor Leopold, and Kevin Bright—young lives lost but not forgotten.
Their parents’ courage in speaking out underscores the urgent need for better education, compassionate support, and a non-judgmental approach to addiction. This episode is a powerful reminder that behind every statistic is a story, and behind every story is a family forever changed.
