Every purchase that you make in a Colorado dispensary, they put a piece of paper in your bag that says marijuana concentrates can lead to psychosis, delusions, hallucinations, and disorders. But it wasn't even considered addictive until 2013. It wasn't even listed in the DSM-5 as cannabis use disorder until very recently. You know, so these newfangled hypotensive vapes and dabs and edibles, shatters, products, it's really, it is robbing our children. And there is no doubt anymore in the literature that marijuana causes psychosis.
Picture this: A bright, straight-A student suddenly spirals into a dark abyss, all because of high-potency marijuana. This is the tragic story of Johnny, shared by his mother, Laura Stack, on this eye-opening episode of Hopestream. Hosted by Brenda Zane, a certified health and wellness coach, the episode dives deep into the dangers of today's marijuana, which is far more potent than what many parents might remember from their youth.
Laura, who founded Johnny's Ambassadors, speaks candidly about how her son's life was upended by marijuana-induced psychosis, ultimately leading to his untimely death. The conversation is raw and honest, shedding light on the urgent need for awareness and education about the risks associated with high-potency THC products like shatter, wax, and vape oils.
If you're a parent worried about your child's exposure to these substances or seeking ways to talk to them about it, this episode offers invaluable insights and support. Laura's mission is clear: to prevent other families from experiencing the same heartbreak by educating teens and parents about the real dangers of modern marijuana. Tune in to hear her powerful message and learn how you can be part of the solution.
