Community Event
Heather and Randy Bacchus are the parents of Randy Michael, their forever 21 year old son, who was experiencing Cannabis Induced Psychosis and tragically died by suicide on July 17, 2021.
In the aftermath of his death, Heather and Randy discovered the severe impact that today’s high potency cannabis can have on the adolescent brain. They are now dedicated to sharing this crucial information with students, parents and professionals to prevent further tragedies.
Join us for this community event focused on cannabis and youth. The presentation will be followed by a panel Q&A comprised of law enforcement, mental health professionals, and other professionals who work with those who struggle with addiction. Light refreshments will be provided before the event. Events are free and no registration required.
