Introduction to cannabis

The name says it all! This course is the perfect springboard for everyone from cannabis novices to experienced users. Newbies and veterans alike will benefit from this broad approach to the exciting world of legalized cannabis. With roots in the origin and history of prohibition, our course traces the worldwide trend of softening regulations on recreational cannabis usage-- as well as the related industries, jobs and products. Students will move on to learning about Canada’s laws and the different rules defined by provincial, territorial and municipal jurisdictions.

With a strong foundation in place, this course focuses on the titular plant, its biology and the many products of varying strength. Following a survey of dosage, consumption, tolerance, onset, effect, duration, impairment and the associated risk, our course concludes with a breakdown of how cannabis is commercially produced, publicly marketed and directly distributed.
