Learn How to Grow Medicinal Marijuana – Legally – at Oaksterdam University.

Trust California to push the boundaries.

First there were marijuana vending machines.

Now there is a University offering a two day course that will prepare people for jobs in an apparently thriving medical marijuana industry.

This is not your ordinary everyday higher education classes. Here, lecturers stand at the front of the class and point out the finer details of the marijuana plant.

Students are taught the art of cultivating and cooking with cannabis. They study the various strains of marijuana and learn which strain works best for particular ailments. And they are instructed on the legalities of an ‘illegal’ business, at least in the eyes of the federal government.

Oaksterdam University is the brain child of Richard Lee, an activist and pot-dispensary owner, who wants to ““…try to professionalize the industry and have it taken seriously as a real industry, just like beer and distilling hard alcohol.”

And there are obviously a number of people out there who agree. So far 60 students have completed the course which is now booked out until the end of May.

    I feel the legalization of marijuana is long over due. facts show that between 2002 and 2004 there were nearly 1000000 fatal accidents due to alcohol and tobacco and there hasn’t been no more than 5 fatal accidents due to marijuana. The fact that alcohol and tobacco is still legal and marijuana isn’t is outrageous.

  2. I would like to take your course, and get licensed. Michigan has passed legislation for medical marijuana usage 2009.
