Very clever headline!

But I have to say, I doubt all graduates here will be growing it for...ummmm...medical purposes.

How about a School to teach these rapper dapper fucks how to grow something to feed themselves properly...Or just how to feed themselves.....

If medical marijuana is to be taken seriously as a therapeutic modality, it need to sheds the stoner image.

This school is a step in the right direction.

This burgeoning industry needs to establish it's own regulatory standards before the politicos figure out how to placate their more hidebound constituents and climb on the gravy train.

Good.

The strategy my grow friends are pursuing out here is to provide marijuana so cheaply that the price collapses. Then hopefully the state realizes they can step in and tax it back to "normal" street prices and no more budget crisis.

There's really no reason an ounce of marijuana should cost $300 when you can get an ounce of oregano for what, $3? Obviously there are some economies of scale at work but you get my drift.

Already they sell it at their dispensary for about half the street price. Also they have cookies, tea, etc. for people whose medical conditions contraindicate smoking.

Another thing they're doing is classes like this story to empower small business and entrepreneurship.

"This burgeoning industry needs to establish it's own regulatory standards before the politicos figure out how to placate their more hidebound constituents and climb on the gravy train."

Definitely. There's too many shady fuckers out there whose behavior plays right into the hands of the prohibitionists.
