Growing

THC University, “the first professional marijuana cultivation training program in Colorado,” is set to offer its first class on February 9th at the Auraria Campus (downtown Denver).

There are three different prices for the same course (the upper two providing 24/7 support and THCU alumni swag, and the most expensive also providing a home grow kit):

Their goal is “to help Coloradans interested in growing marijuana, learn how to safely, and legally do so, in a fun, comforting and supportive environment.”

When asked where the classes will take place, “We want it to be in the best education setting as possible, so most likely class rooms rented out in colleges across Colorado. We plan on having weekly classes in Colorado Springs, Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins,” said Freeman Lafleur, co-founder of THCU.

The federal government sure put the screws to Oaksterdam University in California. However, with states legalizing recreational use of marijuana, how will the feds respond as more of these cannabis universities sprout to life?

For those of you lucky enough to live in Colorado and Washington, who have limited/no grow experience, would you consider taking a course on cannabis cultivation? Will cannabis home grows be more popular than home beer brews within a decade?
