Course Offerings

Cannabis has been used for religious, spiritual, industrial, therapeutic, and other purposes for thousands of years and has a complex and culturally significant history throughout the world. During the past several decades, social and legal perspectives on the recreational and medicinal use of cannabis have evolved. As a result of these changes, a surge in legislation has outpaced the research available on the use of cannabis and its impact on the mind and body. That has created new job opportunities and career paths for those passionate about the industry, and has made it an excellent time to explore education about medical cannabis. Although the use of medical cannabis has its challenges for healthcare providers, legislators, and employers, it also provides opportunities for those seeking to learn more and find employment in a growing field.
