As more and more states ease penalties on medicinal marijuana usage — 13 so far have legalized its use with a doctor’s note — an entirely new type of higher learning is growing fast.

Med Grow Cannabis College sprouted up in Detroit in September and offers a five-week semester for prospective dealers to learn the basics of growing and selling weed to the ill. There are 60 students currently enrolled, and we can only imagine what their course titles look like: The metaphysics of munchies? How to build a bong from household items? Looking like a productive member of society: Visine, towels under doors and Axe body spray?

All jokes aside, the trade school prepares students to become caregivers and break into the marijuana industry the legal way. And Med Grow isn’t the only school dedicated to the sticky-icky and its many, many therapeutic uses: Oaksterdam in California, founded in 2007, is considered the Harvard of cannabis colleges, with three campuses, 50 employees and over 5,000 alums.

Pretty dank.
