    Hey guys I'm now in my senior year of high school been smoking for 4 years now. I love weed and I love it so much I'd like to pursue a career of some type in it. Im asking for some suggestions of career options if you know any? For example a budtender or dispensary owner even. Also I'd like to know what kind of college classes would help me the most in this field? Im thinking studying plant life or botany. Any career/ class suggestions would be awesome. Sometimes I find myself reading about and studying cannabis for hours I just love it!!

    you could always get a degree in botany, then move to any state where bud is decriminalized so you could grow and smoke for the rest of your life. you'd probably live until 100. unfortunately, i doubt your parents would want to pay for your higher education if you're trying to do that

    Ok here's the thing. I'm paying for my own college so there's no way in hell I'm not gonna pursue my passion.

    Horticulture good suggestion! Sounds more geared toward cannabis than botany is. Botany seems a bit too expansive in general.

    I'm gonna have to keep an eye on this thread. I'm a freshman in college and right now I'm a Bio/Pre-med student. I'm definitely going to change my major. I definitely want to do something with either drumming or weed. Seeing as being a professional drummer is a one in a gazillion chance, I'm leaning towards weed :p

    This is something I've been interested as well, as i love weed too and I'm taking my first year of botany in highschool. I'm really like science but I'm too lazy to put the effort in to goto school for that so I'd really like to try and grow or something and would like to now how to go About it
     
  12. #12 Cannabis Cures, Dec 8, 2012
    Oh yeah man you can start a dispensary with me haha

    I'm also senior in high school and I've thought long and hard about my dreams, and I decided a while ago i'd pursue horticulture.It truly looks the more promising and is geared towards learning how to grow plants productively. It helps if you like other plants too if you want to take courses in this field.

    Honestly I have no interest in plants other than cannabis, but if learning about them will help me cultivate and produce larger yields with a better quality and reduced diseases then I'll study whatever plants will teach me about it. Many of the plants will apply to the same principles. Thing that sucks is I just researched the colleges offering horticulture and unless I'm getting into Cornell with an 85 average no other colleges in my area offers horticulture..

    If you have no interest in other plants then don't bother. If cannabis is your passion then be a comedian. ;)

    No I'm set on cultivating my own. I'm not bored with other plants or Anthing they're just not my true passion. Besides with a degree in horticulture when legalization in the US become more widespread there will be many career opportunities in the cannabis field. Just waiting for my shot

    Don't downgrade other plants because they are all really interesting too. If you read some books about other plants then it might spark your interests as well. For instance, I read a book about shamanism in the amazon and was really interested in plants after I learned that most have many beneficial uses. I was also working a garden at the time which made it more exciting. I also love the other psychoactive plants, they're also very enticing to me. You should check it out.

    Thanks for the suggestion man I will definitely check it out.

    Honestly OP, if you want a successful career in bud you need to forget bud for a year or two. Go into botany and horticulture and get a lot of experience and knowledge under your belt. You will know a lot of skills that will make you marketable, and hey, on the side you will know how to grow bomb ass weed if you still want that as a career
     
  20. #20 Cannabis Cures, Dec 8, 2012
    Yeah that was actually my mentality to begin with. I can take the knowledge I learn for the study of other plants and apply it to cannabis cultivation later down the road. Even if my job isn't in cannabis per say I would still like to continue my private studies and grow some plants for myself as a side project.
