Normally the only education one can receive at school regarding marijuana is that of the negative variety. But oh how the times they are a changin’ thanks to Anne Arundel Community College business professor Shad Ewart.
Professor Ewart has introduced a course of study that teaches students how to succeed in the business of weed, which is one of the first curriculums of its kind in the nation to put forward business opportunities in the industry along with the University of Denver and Oaksterdam University in Oakland, California.
According to Professor Ewart, not offering a course of study of this type isn’t fair to those with an interest in working within the ever-increasing marijuana industry.
Here’s what Professor Ewart says:
I almost felt like we were doing a disservice to our students by not having a class like this. It just seemed to be a topic that was ripe.
And he couldn’t have hit the nail more directly on the head with that sentiment, which the interest in the course can confirm. Students taking the new course of study include both men and women with an age range of 18 to 64.
18-year-old Ky Hoffman, one of the students enrolled in the class, titled “Entrepreneurial Opportunities in Emerging Markets: Marijuana Legalization,” claims the course has shown her and her classmates the prospect that the legal pot industry has to offer.
Here’s what Ky had to say:
The energies inside this class allow all of us to connect ideas. Already it’s opened all of our minds to all of the possibilities in the future with marijuana in general. There are so many opportunities that are going to be there in the future.
In 2014, Maryland became the eighteenth state to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana for adult consumers.
