Cannabis is a $1.1 billion industry in Washington, and there are programs across the state designed to get people into the business or to help those who are already in it.

Gonzaga University has partnered with a company called Green Flower to offer certificate programs in Cannabis Health care and Medicine and Cannabis Compliance and Risk Management. Launched in 2023, the program invites visitors to the website to “kickstart their cannabis career.”

“While we do see participation from traditional college-age students, the majority of enrollees are returning adult learners — individuals who have already established careers and are now seeking to transition into the cannabis industry,” said Rachelle Strawther, founding director of Gonzaga’s Center for Lifelong Learning.

Seattle Central College, Tacoma Community College, and the Washington State Department of Health also offer cannabis certificate programs in areas from cultivation to medical consulting.

Recreational marijuana was legalized in Washington in 2012, one of the first states to do so, alongside Colorado.

“There’s a lot of opportunity ahead and a lot to learn,” said Max Simon, CEO of Green Flower. “We have partnerships with over 60 colleges and universities across the country to power their cannabis programs.”

Shilo Kumpf owns cannabis stores in Pasco and Spokane under her company, Lucky Leaf Co. She recently took Gonzaga’s cannabis health care and medicine course because she said she had family members and customers battling cancer. Kumpf wanted to understand more about how cannabis products might help.

Cannabis can sometimes help ease chemotherapy-induced nausea, according to a study from the Journal of Clinical Oncology. And there are a multitude of medicinal uses for it, according to the online cannabis course, said Kumpf.
