Not only did I learn more than I ever thought I would during my 14 week class period, I came into this school thinking I already had a decent background with the plant and boy was I mistaken! Not only have they taught me a lot about the cannabis plant but the possibilities to network with your classmates either before class, on break or after class are countless. With class only being one day a week (for me at least) it allowed me and my fellow classmates to get together quite often to study, get to know each other and even throw around potential business ideas. The people that I was lucky enough to become friends with here are more like a family to me than anything else and I can’t wait to see what ideas we come up with. With my new knowledge of the cannabis plant/industry and through networking with my classmates I was able to secure myself my first job in the industry at Ganja Gold. Oaksterdam and the California cannabis industry have inspired me to get all the knowledge and experience I can while meeting as many people as I can to one day bring my craft back to New Jersey, start, own and operate my own grow and live a happy life while spreading the knowledge I have received of the cannabis plant to all those interested in learning!
