The Medical Marijuana Council provides a great deal of information on medical marijuana and studies that have been done regarding marijuana and it's effectiveness and safety with regard to various illnesses. Most all information they provide is in layperson terms and is extrapolated from scientific studies to help the patient who is considering medical marijuana make a decision.
The Colorado Department of Higher Education Division of Private Occupational Schools oversees the state's 330 vocational and trade schools, and they have now agreed to regulate Greenway University which teaches students how to grow, and distribute marijuana.
This is a first for the Department of Higher Education who will approve the curriculum and set standards for the teachers. Approximately 1,000 students have attended Greenway since it started satellite classes downtown last year.
Marijuana will not be allowed in the classrooms for now. This author is not sure how they teach growing, without growing?
Greenway University's I-25/Alameda Denver campus is expected to open in about a month.
Courses take between three and five months, and can cost between $300 and $2,000 depending on the curriculum.
