Brian Fuller (2002 – 2021)

I wish I could go back and change my mindset. My son, Brian Fuller, committed suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound on October 15th, 2021.  When investigating what could have caused my sweet boy to go to this extreme, I was shocked to uncover that Brian had been smoking Delta-8 THC carts along with high…

Be Extraordinary, Be You. July 17, 2021, 1:26 AM:  “My attitude with the music and everything has been way too self-righteous. I am done with the music. I’m quitting weed for good and want to surround myself with healthy and happy people. This has been too much for me and for you guys. I have…

Corey Langdale (1987-2011) and Alyssa Langdale (1989-2015)

I’ve always considered myself as “politically” correct so when marijuana became “medicine,” I didn’t think it would ever affect my life. It’s too late for me and many other parents…
