Alabama State University Offering Cannabis Education Certificate Programs – Ganjapreneur | Where to buy Skittles Moonrock online

Alabama State University (ASU) – a historically Black college or university (HBCU) – last week announced it will offer cannabis education certificate programs, including Cannabis Healthcare and Medicine; Cannabis Agriculture and Horticulture; the Business of Cannabis; Cannabis Compliance and Risk Management; and Cannabis Product Development and Design.

ASU joins Jacksonville State University as one of just two schools in Alabama to offer cannabis-related courses. The university joins Clark Atlanta University and Medgar Evans College as the only HBCUs to offer a cannabis certificate or cannabis-focused minor, respectively.

ASU is partnering with cannabis education and training company Green Flower on the certificate program. The programs are conducted online, take six months to complete and cost $500 per month, according to the ASU website.

Despite lawmakers approving a medical cannabis law in 2021, products are still not available to patients in the state. The program licensing process has been met with lawsuits after alleged potential inconsistencies in data scoring; allegations that the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) erased recordings of its meetings, violating the state’s Open Meetings Act; and the revocation of several licenses awarded during the first round linked to the scoring errors which led the agency to scrap and restart the process.
