Feb. 25, 2019 – It’s a stoner’s dream come true: you can finally major in marijuana. Here are four post-secondary institutions that have cannabis on the curriculum:
The course: Marijuana Law and Practice
The professor: Hugo Alves
Alves is a former partner at Bennett Jones, one of the country’s go-to legal advisory teams for the cannabis market. (He’s worked with about half of the country’s licensed producers.) His course covers the battle to legalize medical marijuana and famous charter challenges to Canadian cannabis laws.
The course: Business of Cannabis
The professor: Brad Poulos
In 2015, serial entrepreneur Brad Poulos sought a new industry to work in, eventually settling on weed. (Blockchain and drones were runners-up.) His 13-week crash course includes lectures on design, start-up principles and retail guidelines for cannabis.
The course: Cannabis Formulation and Product Development
The professor: Monica Vialpando
Loyalist is the first Ontario institution to offer a graduate-level cannabis science program. In Vialpando’s course, students learn about the polypharmacy of the cannabis plant, formulation chemistry and methods of administration (such as dermal, sublingual and suppository).
