We have to come out of the shadows, and when I started talking about it, we had nine hours of testimony of other parents rising up and talking about how these products have harmed their children.
Laura Stack's life took a tragic turn when her 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide after experiencing psychosis from dabbing high-THC marijuana concentrates. In this heartfelt episode of 'Now Sober's Back Porch Chats', Laura opens up about her son's struggles and the dangerous reality of today's potent marijuana products. If you've ever wondered what dabbing is or how it affects young minds, Laura's story will shed light on these critical issues.
She dives into the alarming rise in THC levels in marijuana since 2015 and the severe mental health consequences that can follow. Laura didn't stop at grieving; she turned her pain into purpose by founding Johnny's Ambassadors, a nonprofit dedicated to educating parents and teens about the risks of high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide.
Through her advocacy, she highlights the urgent need for more regulation in the marijuana industry and the importance of parental involvement in prevention efforts. This episode isn't just about statistics and warnings; it's a powerful narrative of loss, resilience, and a mother's determination to make a difference. Tune in to hear Laura's compelling story and learn how you can get involved in spreading awareness.
