One Pill Can Kill

  • Student Center Ballroom A 1801 E Cotati Ave Rohnert Park, CA, 94928 United States (map)

After four years of insanity caused by Trevor's cannabis use disorder and resulting addiction, Michelle Leopold's beautiful boy died on November 17, 2019, in his dorm room at Sonoma State University, after ingesting a street pill that was a lethal dose of fentanyl. His unformed brain caused the neurons to search out a higher high after being introduced to cannabis at age 15 while in high school. He will forever be 18 years old, and their family’s life has been irreparably changed by his cannabis use disorder and subsequent choices. Michelle now wants to do all she can to honor his memory by preventing other teens from becoming statistics like Trevor, and to stop any other mothers from feeling the lifelong grief of losing their son/daughter at age 18 - or any age. 

Join us as we are introduced to Trevor and to this mother's (and too many other mother's) story, in the hopes that we will make better choices, watch out for one another, know the resources on campus and off, as well as learn how you can get Naloxone (& trained to use it) just in case you are faced with someone you know being in a similar situation.
