Lori Robinson - Founder and Director: MomsStrong
Lori is a proud native of Southern California. She has a Master’s of Science degree in Nutritional Science. Lori has worked in the medical field as a Registered Dietitian for over 30 years. The last 7 years she has worked exclusively as a Nephrology Dietitian earning a Board Certification in this specialty branch of health care.
She and her husband, Greg, were richly graced with two healthy sons born in 1986 and 1991. Their family enjoyed many incredible years celebrating vacations at the family cabin in Bass Lake where their boys (and many of their son’s friends) grew up learning all things water sports related.
It remains inconceivable that they lost their oldest son, Shane, January 13, 2012, from his naïve decision to use marijuana.
This resulted in two episodes of psychosis, 18 months apart, before he tragically took his precious, young life at the age of 25.
Lori feels that if this could happen to her family than this can happen to any family.
Having recently attended the 3rd International Cannabis Conference in Melbourne, AU, she is firmly committed to rousing awareness of marijuana harms to the young brain. The negative impact legalizing both medicinal and recreational marijuana in North America is causing serious global concerns for youth.
Lori officially presented Shane’s Story at the Heritage Foundation in Wash DC 12-9-14 with SAM: Marijuana Policy: Separating Scientific Fact from Popular Fiction and at the Matforce conference in Phoenix, AZ, 9-22-15 “ Marijuana: The Science and The Experiment”.
