It’s one of a handful of schools around the country offering a marijuana education for people hoping to enter the growing cannabis industry.

    like why bother with this course i know its cheap course for average person who want to grow personal use or learn basics only got 14 weeks you get a diploma. your not going to know more than some one with medical plant chemistry degree they will know about the genetics of the plant and how to make the other product cbd rich oil which requires specialised equipment.

    some of these comments are transphobic as fuck, yall are pathetic.



  9. Miguel on December 10, 2019 at 5:46 am

    Countries like this are millions of steps ahead than countries that reject weed. They don’t know what they’re missing.

    The stereotype of stoners changed, now stoners are sophisticated people who are scholars and knowledgeable about many different things.

  24. Con Agri on December 10, 2019 at 5:59 am

    How about getting the poison out of it! Are they teaching that? I seriously doubt it. I am ready to advocate making it illegal again. Corporate mentality is gonna ruin weed.

    A resort with accredited budtenders, outdoor and indoor activties, a movie theater, restaurants dabbling in infused meals, on site medical teams and more. That’s the dream. Vice I know somewhere out there something like this is being created; maybe not on a huge scale but still exists. I want to see Vice give us a documentary on that beautiful creation.

  46. Mark verga on December 10, 2019 at 6:29 am

    lmao everything you need to learn is in youtube!



  47. shawn foogle on December 10, 2019 at 6:32 am

    I couldn’t do this.
    Growing is easy.
    I would just steal buds. And because it’s all weighed. I would be cought.
    I couldn’t do it because I couldn’t help myself. Thers def cameras too.
    Damn this is like bait car. Its unfare.
    Not saying I wouldn’t break in with a mask and gloves and leave with everything. Still crime. But instead of stealing a little and be expelled, jailed, aka no drugs to do.
    Might as well go all in, even killing someone is worth it to get away with whatever $$$$ you stole. (killing is fine if the persons trying to stop you. So cops are def targets)
    Just gotta be a smart criminal. Getting caught basically means death. So have plans.
    Chase with cops? Try too blow up a bridge? Hard but possible. A wooden one is ideal. But you can also just block a road.
    Heli? Well we dont have rpgs. So find a ditch location and ggo to another car



  48. Game Changer12 on December 10, 2019 at 6:34 am
