If we can stop laughing I'll give we my take upon a article below. If we have been a single of my great buddies we already listened my story.
If we review -- The Metamorphosis of This Alzheimer's Caregiver (Part One) -- we know we am a curious person. we am always entrance up with wacky ideas for brand brand brand brand new businesses. Not all of them have been as wacky as they seem.
For several years now, we have been envisioning a great brand brand brand brand new commercial operation which we would begin when legal pot comes to Florida.
Here is a snapshot.
- I would occupy retirees as great as begin a brand brand brand brand new commercial operation flourishing healing marijuana.
- The retirement would usually work a couple of hours a day, as great as have a lot some-more then they would working in Walmart (well unless they eat a profit, so to speak).
- The commercial operation plan is simple, true forward as great as would be easy to execute.
- Teach a retirement how to grow pot in their home.
- Provide them with all a raw material as great as equipment.
- When a product is harvested compensate a predetermined price.
- Deliver a product to a distributor during predetermined price, or sell it during retail
A couple of hundred retirees, as great as we have been vital upon a top of a mountain. Or improved yet, in Delray Beach. More great news, there won't be any shortage of retirees looking for partial time work in a subsequent thirty years.
Like any great idea, there have been hundreds of entrepreneurs which already beat me to a punch. It seems which we am not a usually chairman thinking along these lines.
The article below describes a completely brand brand brand brand new indicate of view which we had not suspicion about formerly -- The Cannabis Caregiver.
The curriculum covers proper civilised world as great as breeding, in progress tips as great as recipes, how to begin a care-giving commercial operation as great as Cannabis History 1010. Unlike accredited educational institutions, there is no customary of practices for cannabis colleges in Michigan. Tennant provides his graduates with a paper obligation anyway. It isn't required, though a tyro could make make use of of it to settle credit as a professional caregiver, proving he or she is "not usually a little Joe Shmoe off a street," he said.
Well, we am no Joe Shmoe. we think we have a certification to validate as a "professional" caregiver via this blog, as great as my six years of experience as an Alzheimer's caregiver. So we theory we am roughly there already.
If we would similar to to watch a video chronicle -- go here. we goal we end up chuckling similar to me. One thing for sure, there might be foe though zero to be concerned about during this point.

Cannabis Colleges Crop Up: New Institutions for 'Higher' Learning
Thousands Learn How to Grow Legal Medical Marijuana
By KATIE SANDERS
Don't expect to pull an all-nighter during Med Grow Cannabis College. Michigan's initial training core for healing pot preparation doesn't ask students for their homework. There have been no final exams.
"We're some-more of a traffic school," pronounced Nick Tennant, Med Grow's 24-year-old founder.
As states loosen their healing pot laws, institutions such as Med Grow have been sprouting up, looking to educate intensity caregivers about how to enter a cannabis attention a legal way.
Tennant non-stop a doors of Med Grow's 4,800-square-foot trickery near Detroit in September, about 10 months after electorate authorized a state's healing pot act. Always wanting to be his own boss, Tennant had dropped out of college to manage cheuffer as great as auto-detail companies. But when his businesses engaged underneath a smothering recession, he looked to a healing pot attention for his subsequent opportunity, months prior to a measure was up for public vote.
"We knew a law was going to get passed," he said.
In addition to Michigan, twelve states have legalized healing pot use: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont as great as Washington.
Tennant fashioned partial of his commercial operation model after California's Oaksterdam University, which claims to be a country's initial cannabis college, opening in 2007. Oaksterdam has 3 campuses in California: Oakland, Los Angeles as great as North Bay.
Spokeswoman Salwa Ibrahim pronounced a institution, which staffs about 50 employees, has graduated about 5,500 students. Oaksterdam welcomes a country's brand brand brand brand new crop of cannabis colleges, she said.
"We welcome competition," she said. "Ultimately, what we're trying to do is shift laws locally as great as federally."
Hawaii romantic Roger Christie says he connects a high he sustains from pot make make use of of as a "spiritual" ritual, a make use of he believes is legal underneath First Amendment religion protections.
He has been an disciple of pot make make use of of as great as legalization for 23 years, he said. Only recently did he add educational overdo to his Hawaii Cannabis Ministry. After reading a headlines story about a continental cannabis college, he decided to add monthly seminars to his ministry's repertoire this fall. So far, he has prepared about 60 people over dual week end seminars. A $100 donation covers a price of classes as great as a hemp seed lunch.
"We sight people to grow a best cannabis humanly possible," Christie said.
Med Grow students cover an array of topics related to a budding attention over semester-long courses or seminars. The curriculum covers proper civilised world as great as breeding, in progress tips as great as recipes, how to begin a care-giving commercial operation as great as Cannabis History 1010.
"Students should feel really confident which they're going to succeed," Tennant said.
Medical Marijuana Classes Flourish
Tennant's propagandize employs twelve people, he said. About 60 students have been receiving courses during this cycle. Med Grow's five-week semester program, which offers dual marks convening upon Monday or Wednesday nights, costs $475.
Unlike accredited educational institutions, there is no customary of practices for cannabis colleges in Michigan.
Tennant provides his graduates with a paper obligation anyway. It isn't required, though a tyro could make make use of of it to settle credit as a professional caregiver, proving he or she is "not usually a little Joe Shmoe off a street," he said.
Graduates of Tennant's college won't be withdrawal their training to set up mass dispensaries. Under Michigan law, state-registered caregivers have been usually allowed to provide pot to a limit of 5 patients.
In California, students of cannabis colleges have a few some-more options, Ibrahim said. Students come from out-of-state to turn lobbyists, hospital managers as great as caregivers.
"They can do whatever they wish to do," she said.
Trey Daring, 26, changed to Daly City, Calif., after graduating from Old Dominion University, in Virginia, to work as an disciple for a cannabis movement. His favorite course is advanced horticulture -- it's a many useful, he said. He'll graduate in mid-December.
Parents 'Not Necessarily Proud' of Cannabis College Certification

"I feel similar to they're bargain right away though not indispensably proud," he said.
His classrooms have been not which most different from ones he had in high propagandize as great as college: dry-erase boards, PowerPoint presentations as great as associating instructors.
Perhaps a partial that's many different is his classmates.
"There have been a lot some-more people over thirty than substantially outsiders would believe," he said.
Med Grow students additionally run a demographic gamut. Tennant pronounced his pupils include 18-year-old high propagandize graduates, a 60-year-old priest as great as former clients of his old auto-detailing business, a little of whom find themselves struggling to keep their own businesses afloat. His instructors highlight which their curriculum is for medicinal purposes only, not recreational tips, he said.
"I run a really tight operation here," he said.
The healing pot attention could potentially assistance Michigan's smashed economy, provided it is not abused, Tennant said.
Ibrahim of California's Oaksterdam University additionally sees cannabis as a approach to minister definitely to a state's economy. Oaksterdam's Oakland campus recently changed into a 30,000-square-foot building and, she said, a propagandize expects to educate about 1,000 students a month, double a genius of a previous space.
"It really is flourishing in this economy," she said. "We're evidence of it. We usually changed into a larger trickery when all else seems to be downsizing."
