Students and teachers of cannabis law must both be lifelong learners about the plant itself.
Teaching policy, history of the war on drugs, and the actual law are best accomplished after introducing the students to the plant and what it does to the body and brain.
The lack of knowledge about the cannabis plant is everywhere. MJBiz describes how even budtenders at dispensaries may not be the most educated about cannabis and the consumer knows much less.
Giving students of marijuana law an introduction to the how complex the cannabis plant is – 480 compounds, dozens of cannabinoids other than THC and CBD – before delving into the law sets them up for the best success.
Budtenders need their education too and can check out these online courses.
