Dr. Phil leads with the question:  Is America too High on Marijuana? https://www.drphil.com/shows/is-america-too-high-on-marijuana/

Laura, founder of Johnny’s Ambassadors, will give testimony that is quite personal.  Her son, Johnny Stack, died by suicide after marijuana-induced psychosis in Colorado.  Laura, a professional speaker, is the author of The Dangerous Truth about Today’s Marijuana. 

Dr. Roneet Lev, host of High Truths podcast and Vice President of IASIC, is a San Diego emergency room doctor, will give insight on how the medical field has been impacted by California’s Prop 64.  

These panelists for our side, Kevin, Laura and Roneet, will go up against a pro-pot contingent.

Our friends Heidi Anderson-Swan, co-author, A Night in Jail, and Scott Chipman, Vice President of AALM will be in the audience.  Expect them to offer insights, too.

The October 12th episode of Dr. Phil featured Michael Shellenberger debating Senator Scott Wiener about safe consumption sites.  Shellenberger held his ground against Wiener and Maia Szalavitz, a famous harm reductionist and Soros fellow.
