Have you ever heard of dabbing? No, not the hip-hop dance! “Dabs” are extracted concentrates of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the chemical (cannabinoid) in marijuana that makes users “high.” The 2019 HKCS reported 10.2% of high school students use dabs, and of those who admit to using marijuana, 52% report dabbing-a nearly 70% increase in only two years. Let me tell you about my deceased son Johnny and the marijuana caused morass that the Centennial State is becoming. I thank your medical journal Missouri Medicine for this unique opportunity to address physicians directly. As physicians and as parents, you must not let this happen. Marijuana, whether obtained with a medical marijuana card or purchased for recreational use, could kill you, your child, your patients, and it will lay waste to the health of Missouri. Today’s marijuana, very high in THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol, the euphoria producing-addicting substance in cannabis products) is destroying the health and social structure of my state Colorado. Johnny got his own medical marijuana card at 18 years old from an unknown doctor, and he had no medical or mental conditions-he just wanted to get high with his friends. He started using at 14, obtained from a friend’s older 18-year-old brother, who had a medical marijuana card. Marijuana, legal for recreational use in Colorado since 2012, killed my son Johnny Stack at age 19.
