Laura Stack’s 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide after becoming psychotic from using high potency THC vapes. Soon afterward, Laura started a 501c3, Johnny’s Ambassadors, to educate about the dangers of today’s marijuana products on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide. Laura’s real-life story is backed by recent scientific research on how today’s THC products can harm our youth. Receive complimentary educational resources to use in your classroom.
