What is 710 International Dab Day? Why will Laura’s new book be published on July 10?
Hi, it’s Laura Stack. Many of you may not know we lost our 19-year-old son, Johnny, to suicide on November 20, 2019. He became psychotic from dabbing
wax (marijuana concentrates) and wrote in his journal the mob was after him. We started a non-profit, Johnny’s Ambassadors, in May 2020 to educate parents and teens about the dangers of today’s high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain
development, mental illness, and suicide. Many people aren’t aware how potency the THC products are today compared to the grass that was smoked in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.
My 9th book, The Dangerous Truth About Today’s Marijuana: Johnny Stack’s Life and Death Story, hits bookstores on July 10, which is International Dab Day. Don’t know what 710 Day is? I guarantee you teens and college students do! 710 turned upside
down spells “OIL” if you read it on a calculator, so people “celebrate” on July 10 by using marijuana oils, vapes, and dabs at 7:10 PM. Clearly a departure from my productivity work, I hope this book will reach someone who needs it that day.
ALL PROCEEDS ON THE SALE OF THIS BOOK GO TO THE 501C3, Johnny’s Ambassadors.
This is the poignant life-and-death story of Johnny Stack, whose young and vibrant life ended by suicide after his descent into addiction to high-potency marijuana and cannabis-induced psychosis. You’ll laugh and cry with his mother, Laura Stack, as she retells the story of Johnny’s joyful childhood and then takes you through the unthinkable tragedy of his loss. It’s every parent’s nightmare.
But this book is much more than Johnny’s story. Today Laura, who is a nationally recognized speaker and best-selling author, leads a national effort of parents, impacted family members, healthcare professionals, teachers, and trusted adults who are concerned about the harmful effects of marijuana on our children, teenagers, and emerging adults. This book is a clarion call for parents across America to educate themselves about the risks of today’s high-THC marijuana products and to better
understand the potentially devastating effects on youth mental health. Laura’s real-life story is backed by recent scientific-based research on how today’s potent THC products lead to mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, paranoia, psychosis, and sadly, suicidal ideation. This book is her vision to dramatically decrease adolescent marijuana usage, mental illness, and suicide, to allow our youth to live productive, happy lives.
