Canadian university "run" courses on the cultivation and sale of cannabis
The course is divided into four main areas: the cultivation of hemp production and management of infrastructure, legal and regulatory aspects of growing and selling cannabis, marketing and sales, the process of drug development.
This fall, the Canadian Kvantlen State Polytechnic University (Richmond, BC) will start a 14-week online course devoted to the theme of cultivation and sale of medical cannabis. Training will be held with the participation of industry experts, including with the assistance of experienced cannabis producers, lawyers and marketers. The course fee is $ 1,300, for training 25 people have already signed up.
