As parents, it's incumbent upon us to get the information ourselves and to admit to your child, I say all the time: look, I was so wrong, I was incredibly wrong, thinking that it was just weed, I was ignorant.
Imagine losing your child to something as seemingly harmless as marijuana. For Laura Stack, this nightmare became a reality when her son Johnny succumbed to the effects of high-potency THC products. In this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with Laura to discuss her mission to prevent other families from facing the same heartbreak.
Laura, a Hall-of-Fame Speaker and bestselling author, founded Johnny's Ambassadors to educate parents and teens about the dangers of marijuana. She brings a wealth of experience and practical advice to the table, sharing strategies for parents to connect with their kids about drug use. One poignant tip involves having a 'code word' that kids can use to call for help without fear of judgment.
Laura's personal story is a powerful reminder of the potential risks associated with marijuana, especially for young people. She highlights the connection between marijuana use and more severe drug addiction, emphasizing that early prevention is key. The episode also explores how marijuana can impact adolescent brain development, potentially leading to long-term cognitive issues. Laura's insights are not just theoretical; they are born out of her tragic loss and her determination to save others from similar pain.
This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone concerned about youth drug use. It offers practical, heartfelt advice on protecting our children from the dangers of marijuana and fostering open, honest conversations about drugs.
