<p>Preventing youth from using marijuana is key in preventing drug addiction and psychosis.</p>
<p>Laura Stack has practical and life saving advice for parents and those interested in drug prevention.</p>
<p>Do you have a code word with your kids? The code means come get me wherever I am, no questions asked.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-6626" src="https://hightruths.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Laura-Stack-150x150.jpg" alt="Laura Stack" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://hightruths.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Laura-Stack-150x150.jpg 150w, https://hightruths.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Laura-Stack-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></p>
<p>Laura Stack is Johnny Stack’s mom and the Founder &amp; CEO of <a href="https://johnnysambassadors.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johnny’s Ambassadors</a>. In the business world, Laura was better known by her professional moniker, The Productivity Pro®. She is a Hall-of-Fame Speaker and corporate spokesperson for many major brands. Laura is a bestselling author of eight books on productivity and performance topics with a large social media following, and she has given keynote speeches and training seminars to major corporate, association, and government audiences for over 30 years.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>On November 20, 2019, Laura suddenly acquired the undesired wisdom of knowing what it’s like to lose one’s child, when her 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide. He became psychotic after dabbing high- potency marijuana concentrates and thought the mob was after him.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Laura’s world took a 180. She filed for and received 501c3 nonprofit status for Johnny’s Ambassadors, Inc., with the mission to educate parents and teens about the dangers of today’s high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide. She wrote the blockbuster book, <i>The Dangerous Truth About Today’s Marijuana: Johnny Stack’s Life and Death Story</i>, with 300 pages about what happened. Described as a woman with unstoppable drive and unwavering purpose, Laura hopes to help other parents, grandparents, teachers (and frankly all adults with teens in their lives) by honestly and boldly sharing Johnny’s story of his high-potency marijuana use, psychosis, and suicide.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The devastating loss of her child gives Laura a powerful voice and a platform for change. Laura sees it as her responsibility to share Johnny&#8217;s warning to prevent other families from having to go through what she did and save other young lives.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Laura’s platform now brings marijuana education, awareness, and prevention curriculum around the U.S. to raise awareness of THC use, mental illness, and suicide. She presents live and virtual keynotes, breakout sessions, and training for parents, teens, schools, healthcare, anti-drug coalitions, community- based prevention organizations, corporate wellness programs, and government agencies.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Laura is the recipient of the Drug-Free America Foundation’s Moxie Award for protecting youth from substances, as well as the Leadership in Advocacy Award from the National Speakers Association. By sharing Johnny’s own warning about marijuana, Laura is determined to start a movement to bring teen marijuana use, mental illness, and suicide into the spotlight and get them to #StopDabbing.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Laura lives with her husband near Denver, Colorado and has two surviving adult children, ages 26 and 20.</p>
</div>
