Metro Vancouver’s Kwantlen Polytechnic University is now offering students the option to take a course in slingin’ bud. It’s called “Introduction to Professional Management of Marijuana for Medical Purposes in Canada.”
According to the listing on KPU’s website, the 14-week online course “is designed to provide an overview of the successes and continual challenges within the rapidly expanding medical marijuana market” and starts this fall.
The syllabus (or syllaBUDs, if you will) shows the course is broken down into two sections with two modules in each.
The first section, Plant Production & Facility Management, is built to give students a basic breakdown of plant characteristics, medical treatment methods, growing techniques, an understanding of the legalities behind marijuana dispensaries and how to become a licensed producer.
