February Event - Be Extraordinary, Be You!
Wednesday, Feb. 28 from 6:30 - 8 p.m. in the BSM Hamburge Theater
Randy and Heather Bacchus lost their 21 year old son, Randy Michael, to cannabis induced psychosis, leading to his suicide in 2021. Delving into the current state of cannabis and the available research has provided Randy and Heather with valuable insights. Their journey to understanding the circumstances surrounding their son's passing has equipped them with a wealth of information that they are willing to share with our BSM community.
During the event, attendees will gain insight into the heightened potency of today's cannabis products
compared to the past, the diverse forms in which it is available, and their profound impact on adolescent brain development.

Light refreshments will be served.
