Unspeakable violence happened in 2018, when a 28 year old professional audiologist, Bryn Spejcher, was on a date with a 26-year-old accountant, Chad O'Melia.
Chad was a regular marijuana user with a large bong displayed on his coffee table.
Bryn inhaled the THC from the bong and within minutes developed cannabis induced psychosis.
Having severe hallucinations, Bryn stabbed Chad 108 times, using kitchen knives. She also stabbed her beloved service dog and then repeatedly stabbed herself in the neck, nearly killing herself.
Bryn is doing community service for involuntary manslaughter. She joins High Truths with her mother and Aubree Adams.
Aubree Adams is the founder and director of Every Brain Matters, a nationally trusted educational resource formed by families with loved ones whose lives were damaged or ended by marijuana. Every Brain Matters has a memorial to the many lives lost to marijuana. She hosts her own podcast, "It's Just pot, what's the problem?" She returns to High Truths from Episode # 170.
High Truths discussed the Bryn Spejcher manslaughter case of Chad O'Meilia on previous episodes on High Truths.
On episode #163 we spoke with Heidi Swan and Dr. Christy Brown who attended Bryn's trial and discussed the trial.
On episode #172 we spoke with Eve Simmon, a reporter from the Daily Mail who reported on the trial. She empathized with Bryn.
