Medical Marijuana 101
Medical Marijuana 101
I'm a licensed grower in the northeast US. I have 5 years of strong experience and many ties with others in the industry. Evidence has convinced me that medicinal marijuana is an extremely effective substance for so many who are suffering from a wide-range of conditions. I've personally seen it cure skin cancer. Marijuana is a safe alternative to many drugs currently prescribed by our doctors. Since it is now legal in many areas, I want to help people know the basics to get started.

Summary
Medical cannabis has gotten lots of attention lately. Indications show that cannabis is an effective medicine for people going through cancer therapies, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, glaucoma, and other debilitating conditions.
Many countries and states in America have enacted medical cannabis laws. Unfortunately, not many people know the best practices in growing and processing cannabis specifically for the patients who need it.
This introductory course will cover basics of organic cultivation from seed to product, equipment choices, how to research local laws, and quality assurance topics.

Question. This course is called "Medical Marijuana", yet none of the learning objectives involves "Medical Effects of Marijuana" or anything related...Shouldn't it be better named "Marijuana for Dummies" or "Marijuana and you"? Something to think about...
