Medical marijuana has grown from an “only in California” curiosity into an expanding realm of business opportunities—which some are now calling the Cannabis Industry. Among them is an entrepreneur who sees a niche in training workers for that budding industry.

The Cannabis Training University program will be offered at the Holiday Inn Express in Santa Rosa July 24-25 (other summer sessions are scheduled in San Jose and Santa Cruz). Jeffery Zorn outlines the curriculum.

There are further details about the program in this promotional video.

Zorn is himself a graduate of Oaksterdam University, the Oakland-based school that was established to address many of the same needs and concerns as the Cannabis Training University. But as the founder, owner, CEO and promoter for CTU, Zorn sees comparative benefits in his program.

Cannabis activist and advocate Ed Rosenthal is among the instructors at the Cannabis Training University, but will not be among the faculty for the Santa Rosa workshop.
