They didn't know their son was using marijuana until just a few hours before his death.   Listen as these parents plea to the public to get educated on the true effects of marijuana use and for states to actually test for marijuana in toxicology reports.The police reported a very strong order of marijuana in their son's car after he died, but these parents had to repeal the results of their son's toxicology report 3 times before the Corenor would test for the presence of marijuana. The results came back as marijuana intoxication because high levels of marijuana were found in their son's system at the time of his death.Join the Every Brain Matters community of support, advocacy, and science as we call for a cultural change with the widespread use of the EBM merchandise that unites us and promotes optimal brain and environmental health.

A father describes how he thought the legalization of marijuana was a good thing until he learned about concentrated THC products designed to attract young users like his son, who developed cannabis-induced psychosis. The expansion of marijuana and other drugs has overwhelmed our communities and become a regular part of our culture. This new age of industrialized THC allows predatory practices and well-funded campaigns to target vulnerable populations with minimal accountability. Our neighborhoods and schools are becoming unsafe. Families are under-educated and have minimal tools and resources to prevent, manage, or recover from the impacts of cannabis addiction, psychosis, toxicity, and other mental challenges that come from using these products.
