Keynote Speakers Morning Keynote We are pleased to welcome Laura Stack, Founder of Johnny's Ambassadors, to share The Dangerous Truth About Today's Marijuana: Johnny Stack's Life and Death Story for the morning plenary. Laura Stack's 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide on November 20, 2019, after becoming psychotic from dabbing high-THC marijuana concentrates. In this session, Laura will share the story of Johnny's marijuana addiction from a parent's point of view, a poignant chronicle of the shocking descent from innocence to eventual suicide, in hopes of helping others talk to young adults about the impacts of marijuana use on mental health.
