Show Notes
Brace yourselves for a story that will shake you to your core and forever change how you view the world around us. Today, we have a guest whose tragic experience serves as a chilling wake-up call to parents, educators, and policymakers everywhere.
Johnny Stack's life was cut devastatingly short on November 20, 2019, at just 19 years old. But this wasn't just any teenager - Johnny was a prodigy, a shining star with limitless potential. Brilliant, charismatic, and destined for greatness, he had the world at his feet with a perfect 4.0 GPA and a bright future ahead.
But beneath this picture-perfect facade lurked a silent, insidious threat - one that has invaded our communities and is targeting our children right under our noses. Colorado's legalization of marijuana in 2014 set the stage for a public health crisis that would claim Johnny as one of its many victims.
Out of this heartbreak rose Johnny's Ambassadors, a powerful coalition of concerned citizens, medical professionals, and advocacy groups united in the fight against youth marijuana use. Armed with cutting-edge scientific research and a burning passion for change, this organization is pulling back the curtain on the devastating impact of high-THC marijuana on developing brains.
What you'll hear today isn't just a cautionary tale - it's a call to arms. The mission of Johnny's Ambassadors strikes at the heart of one of the most pressing issues facing our society: the alarming rise in adolescent mental illness and suicide linked to marijuana use. Their vision? Nothing short of a revolution in how we approach youth substance abuse, mental health, and suicide prevention.
Prepare to have your assumptions challenged and your eyes opened wide. The information shared in this episode could save your child's life or the life of someone you know. Don't miss this crucial conversation that every parent, teacher, and community leader needs to hear. The future of our youth hangs in the balance, and the time for action is now.
