      If you’re already a budtender, you probably know a thing or two about customer service. And perhaps you’re a recreational cannabis connoisseur. For example, you may already have an understanding of the nuances among the different strains: which ones give you energy and which make you sink into the couch. But do you know why the same strains can have such profoundly different effects on different people? What’s going on with the plant and our bodies? What’s the endocannabinoid system? Delta-9? Decarboxylation? And why does this stuff matter to a budtender?

      Maybe you're a medical professional who just wants to get the facts straight, so you can make better decisions with your patients who use medical marijuana.

      Or maybe you're a medical patient dipping your own toes into the MMJ arena, and you're just curious enough to want the facts for yourself.

      These are some of the concepts you will learn in this class. We’ll also help clear up the mountains of misinformation surrounding cannabis. If you’re a budtender or professional who's serious about your trade, you really need to know this stuff. 


      This self-paced class consists of two hours of lectures and six quizzes, which you may utilize as often as you like for two years from the purchase date. Additionally, Dr. Fisher participates in student discussions.


      Upon adequate completion, you’ll receive a certificate suitable for framing. Take the courses as many times as you like to sufficiently pass. Upon satisfactory achievement, you will be provided with a printable Certificate of Completion, which you may keep, print, and display.
