It's like people think it can't happen to them, and we've talked about this over and over again...this was just a great kid and it can happen to anybody, anybody, absolutely.
Laura Stack's world was shattered when her son, Johnny, took his own life at just 19 years old. Once a bright and promising young man, Johnny's life took a tragic turn after he became addicted to high-potency marijuana. In this poignant episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Laura opens up about her family's ordeal and the devastating impact of today's potent marijuana strains on youth mental health.
Johnny's story is not just a personal tragedy but a stark warning about the underestimated risks of modern marijuana. Laura passionately discusses the mission of Johnny's Ambassadors, a non-profit organization she founded to educate parents and teens about these dangers. Through evidence-based research and expert insights, the organization aims to curb youth marijuana use and prevent similar tragedies.
Laura's advocacy extends beyond personal grief; she calls for stricter regulations and potency caps to protect vulnerable individuals from the harmful effects of high-THC marijuana. Her story serves as a crucial reminder for parents, educators, and policymakers about the importance of awareness and education in combating this growing issue. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the impact of marijuana legalization and the safety of our youth.
Laura's heartfelt narrative and tireless efforts to make a difference offer both a sobering reality check and a beacon of hope.
