Description:
Sunday, July 10, 2024 is celebrated by the stoner culture as “Dab Day.” Do you know what July 10 (7/10 or 710) is known as Dab Day? Read about it here.
To wrap up National Marijuana Facts Week, which is July 4-10, Laura Stack will present a special FREE one-hour webinar, taking adults on a pictorial tour through a local Denver marijuana dispensary, so you can see what it’s REALLY like in a legal marijuana store today. Colorado is GROUND ZERO for marijuana – the first state to legalize recreational marijuana. Laura will help you understand “dabbing,” and how concentrates, such as shatter, wax, and oil are made, and why they are so harmful for youth brain development. Everyone who registers for this webinar will automatically receive the recording from GoToWebinar 24 hours later, whether you attended or not.
Speaker Bio
Laura Stack was best known in the business world for her professional moniker, The Productivity Pro. Her 30-year career as a keynote speaker, bestselling author of eight productivity books, and corporate spokesperson came to a screeching halt on November 20, 2019, when her 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide after becoming psychotic from dabbing high-THC marijuana concentrates. Laura responded by forming the nonprofit, Johnny’s Ambassadors, to educate parents and teens about the dangers of today’s high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide. Her platform now brings education, awareness, and prevention curriculum to parents, drug prevention conferences, community groups, and schools to stop youth marijuana use. She is a powerful speaker who brings Johnny’s personal warning and solid research together in her new book, The Dangerous Truth About Today’s Marijuana: Johnny Stack’s Life and Death Story. Described as a force of nature with unstoppable drive and unwavering purpose, Laura is determined to get teens to #StopDabbing.
