Description
On the one-year anniversary of her son’s death by suicide, Laura Stack will publicly tell the story of Johnny Stack’s marijuana addiction for the first time from a parent’s point of view, a poignant chronicle of the shocking descent from innocence to eventual suicide. Before marijuana, Johnny was a computer whiz with a 4.0 GPA and a perfect math score on the SAT. He was a funny, charming, handsome young man, with a college scholarship and a bright future. After marijuana, he was an abusive wraith who stole his family dog from the home and threatened to kill it without payment from his mother. With moving candor, Laura traces the first warning signs, their attempts at rehabilitation, her desperation, and his demise. Through this tragic, transparent tale, Laura hopes to use her pain and research to help parents talk to their children about the dangers of today’s marijuana on the developing adolescent mind.
