“We’re here to talk about our son Brandon Danielson who was taken from us on September 3, 2019, due directly to the use of high-potency marijuana.” said parent Don Danielson in front of the committee. “Brandon was diagnosed with CHS where he would go into bouts of repeated vomiting, nausea, stomach pains, and extreme dehydration.”
