My son, age 23, is addicted to weed and gambling. He has been struggling for 5 years now. He moved home with me after being in and out of college at OSU. He suffered from severe anxiety and depression. Never leaving his bed.… Read the rest

I want to thank Laura so much for her book, it has been so relevant and helpful to me because my son has gone through a similar experience.  I have been very naïve about the types of marijuana and THC levels, so Laura’s book was a great help to me in terms of education on marijuana, the impacts on the young adult brain, and also an incredible help to me as a parent struggling with my 19 year old who was using marijuana at what I know realize were toxic levels of THC.… Read the rest

My son took his life on Aug. 7, 2021. He was 33 years old – had a Medical Marijuana Card and was using a lot from November 2020- June 2021.

Thank you, Laura,  for organizing this walk and making this happen so we can help educate others and effect change in legislation. My son had 2 psychotic episodes and is now 22.

Yet another similar story.  Our son (20 as well) became psychotic after ingesting a 50 mg edible on his birthday (6/10) while he was also going through a dab cartridge every few days. He became increasingly paranoid and angry (180 degree turn from his usual gentle nature) to the point where he was so aggressive I had to leave my own house. … Read the rest

Our son began using high potency THC products at the age of 14, during his freshman year of high school at a friend’s house.  He quickly spiraled out of control… he got in trouble at school and was expelled.  He lost many friends and ended up dropping out of high school by his junior year. … Read the rest

I wanted to give some parents Hope out there. A few months ago I joined this group feeling very concerned and worried about my 16-year-old son. Since joining we have turned a massive corner. He is no longer dabbing. He has returned to my happy child.… Read the rest

Hi Mrs. Stack,

I first wanted to say that I know it’s been a bit, but I’m so sorry for your loss. I don’t know if you remember me or not, but I went to school with Johnny since I could remember (since first grade until graduating high school).… Read the rest
