From growing the perfect crop to marketing within restrictive rules, Canadian colleges and universities are cultivating courses for those wanting to work in the booming marijuana industry. Niagara College is working on a certificate in marijuana production and New Brunswick Community College is already teaching cultivation. Alison McMahon runs Cannabis at Work, a recruiting agency for marijuana companies, and said completing cannabis courses can help candidates stand out from the crowd. Kwantlen and Durham College are both planning to expand the variety of marijuana classes on offer. "In order for the industry as a whole to gain legitimacy, people really need to know what it's all about," he said.
