Folsom High School will host a special event for parents and community members concerned about the rising trend of marijuana use among youth on Monday evening.
The free seminar, titled “The Dangerous Truth About Today’s Marijuana: Johnny Stack’s Life & Death Story,” will be presented by Laura Stack, Founder & CEO of Johnny’s Ambassadors Youth Marijuana Prevention, a 501c3 nonprofit.
Scheduled for Monday evening, March 11, at Folsom High School located at 1655 Iron Point Road, Folsom, the event aims to shed light on the alarming realities surrounding marijuana use among adolescents.
Laura Stack, renowned as The Productivity Pro in the business world, transitioned her focus following a tragic event in her personal life. Her 19-year-old son, Johnny, tragically died by suicide on November 20, 2019, after experiencing psychosis induced by dabbing high-THC marijuana concentrates. In response to this devastating loss, Laura founded Johnny’s Ambassadors, dedicated to educating parents and teens about the dangers of high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain development, mental health, and suicide prevention.
The seminar, targeted at individuals aged 18 and above (teens encouraged to attend with an adult), will commence at 6:00 p.m. with Laura Stack’s presentation. Attendees will have the opportunity to delve into critical topics such as the effects of THC on adolescent brain development, the impact of high-potency marijuana products, and the correlation between marijuana use and mental illness, psychosis, and suicide among youth.
The agenda for the evening includes a seminar from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., followed by a question and answer session from 7:00 to 7:30 p.m. Admission to the event is free, with donations to Johnny’s Ambassadors gratefully accepted during registration.
Parents and community members attending this seminar will gain invaluable insights into the dangers posed by today’s marijuana products and the urgent need for proactive prevention efforts. Laura Stack’s personal journey, coupled with solid research and a mission to raise awareness, makes this event a must-attend for anyone invested in safeguarding the well-being of adolescents in the community.
For those unable to attend in person, students will have the opportunity to hear from Laura Stack during school assemblies on March 11 and 12.
The community is encouraged to attend this event at Folsom High School as they take a proactive stance in addressing the dangers of marijuana use among youth and empower parents with the knowledge needed to protect their children.
