Cannabis law and cannabis courses have attained a new level of educational inclusiveness. Study.com and Quimbee now offer cannabis related educational support of varying levels. Quimbee, the popular law student study aid platform, in 2020 began offering state bar approved continuing legal education (CLE). The platform now includes CLE for Cannabis Attorneys. The CLE called The Cannabis Industry: Best Practices for Attorneys, is approved for CLE in 17 states and pending approval in many others. Written by attorneys practicing in the industry, the course introduces basic advice for attorneys with a cannabis start up as a client. There is also a cannabis legal ethics course approved in 5 states. The illustrations are entertaining, according to the platform, making CLE fun.
Study.com has courses and study aids for cannabis included as part of a Substance Abuse, and Becoming a Substance Abuse Counselor course, as well as Introduction to Criminal Justice courses. It also offers study preparation for certification exams where cannabis related questions appear such as for human resources certification to name one of many test preps offered. For a fee, the platform assists students and teachers by providing content created by teachers. The videos, quizzes, and worksheets are robust and I believe Study.com can support a learning journey. The price tag of $20-30 per month is steep given how much free video content is out there as well as increasingly more diverse law subject textbooks at the undergraduate and law school level. Many of those open educational resources come with assessments.
