yes oaksterdam has been around for years

 

I heard some say that its a joke and that the books they use u can just buy online yourself and grow

 

I wouldn't say it's needed.. worth it? Depends on how much you already know and what you can produce

 

I'd go ask the dispensary in question


Happy toking!

I HIGHLY doubt they teach you anything you cant learn from a few minutes of googling.

As for improving your odds of getting hired at a dispensary, honestly cant say being from a non-medical state. But from what ive heard from people who are, bud handlers (cashiers) dont have to really know anything besides what marijuana looks like to get the job, though some are knowledgeable

 

If you are after a cultivation job, getting a qualification in the horticulture/agriculture field will be more worthwhile.

 

Yea what exactly you want from that is more important to us answering your question. If you're interested in growing an agriculture program would be far more useful since they teach you general and specific topics so you can understand growing plants as a means to make money and thus indirectly how to take care of plants they don't really cover. If you're interested in the business side thats popping up, then maybe a business degree could be worth it. I've looked up some of these MJ schools and I can't imagine what they teach in just a few days time but I guess depending where they are, the legal aspects prevent them from actually doing a grow from start to finish.

 

 
Depends, in your state, do you have to be 21 or 18 to be a MMJ patient? Or same question for rec use if you're in a legal state? 
And maybe the experience you have is not put into consideration since you were a minor when you acquired that knowledge (I'm assuming)
Have you been to places in person? If not, that could help !
Maybe you have to be a MMJ patient ? 

 

Ok, that's clearer
 
Just don't abandon, go out to more dispensary, grow houses (Suppose you got those in Cali ! ) etc..
There are so many in your state, you'll find something, be confident, go up to the stores and you'll get there

 

Here's a tip on applying for a job first is call them after they get you or better yet stop in and chat with them. If you get a interview once again after a couple of day call or stop usually after a interview I will just call. Good luck.

I see nothing wrong with growing weed for yourself, your friends, or even for profit.  But, if Mexico ever legalizes it, an it's legal here, you can bet your bottom dollar that 90% of the weed that gets used will be from across the border - which is going to leave very little room left for anybody who was in, or was planning to go into, the marijuana business.  

 

I don't agree.  In Holland, where it is legal, a very small percentage of people use it.   
 
Mexico can grow very good weed outdoors for practically nothing, and this would make it impossible for American growers to compete with them for the lions share of the market.  Of course, this is only possible if it becomes legal in both countries, and they export it here.  
 
I would not recommend marijuana cultivation as a possible career choice for young Americans.  There's simply no evidence that it will be profitable.   
 
It's like trying to grow bananas here and sell them - Costa Rica and other countries make this impossible.  The same will be true with marijuana.   During the 1970's NOBODY sold domestic weed, 99% was imported.  The only reason domestic growing and selling started some 25-30 years ago, was due to the drop in weed smuggling because of busts.
