Happily surprised to find a main well spring.
I have a medical card. I cannot work in the cannabis industry till im 21 and wanted to learn as much as I can. Im 19, Cannabis helps me and I dream of this helping others. I have painful restless leg syndrome and insomnia. I am learning so much about my moms disease as well through this. I cant wait to learn more!!!!
Exam 6: What are the most common solvents used for medical grade extraction?
Page 92 of the Medical Cannabis handbook of paragraph 1 states “is the most commonly used”.
Overall IMPRESSIVE course. I’ve learned so much and prior to the course considered myself above average in medical cannabis education.
Well done Team MM 411
Really useful and enjoyable introduction to the world of cannabis.
I want more medical courses like this one!
Great course with even better information
Great information. The down loadable images are wonderful.
best class ever
I loved the course, it taught me so much! I think maybe a next steps page or maybe paths for professional certification or advanced training.
Great job so far…
This was a new format for me. I am not sure what a dashboard is to save materials. I am much more comfortable with books. Content of the course was excellent. I would like to know how to evaluate a store to purchase things. I would be interested in how alcohol affects the body and how it compares.
Thank you!!! <3
Overall, very informative and enjoyable.
Wish there was a Q and A.
Awesome class! Hopefully more classes on this topic will be available soon.
I liked the information I was provided. I found it to be helpful. I did have a hard time loading and viewing the video portions. I had to load them on different devices to get them to load and view them.
Some of the videos had severe buffering issues and were unwatchable.
Would be helpful to have more windows for “next activity” after the PDF sections of the course to move along quicker. Length of the video in the title would also be helpful.
The only star I took off was because I wanted more information and more Sections. It was a great introduction.
The information contained herein took a “cool job” and inspires me to think of a career and feel lucky to be a part of this industry at this exciting time. Thank you so much and I look forward to enrolling in more classes so watch out!
Being in the software industry prior for 12 years, I have to say this is the most user friendly software for training that I have ever used!
Extremely informative, Its necessary for everyone in cannabis to take this course.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This by far the best training I have ever. The history and solid facts kept so intrigued that all I wanted to do was KEEP READING! Great content!
Some of the videos were sort of long, but other than that, great course!
Thank you for providing me with such rich knowledge about the cannabis plant, very much appreciated.
There were some answers to the quizzes that directly contradicted the information we learned. Following the courses I did, some of the answers I got wrong should have been correct, or the questions should have been asked differently. For “self-titration” for example didn’t state that that was for CBD only (as the answer stated as correct”. The notes stated that it was slow medicating and could be CBD & THC.
Great course! I appreciate the knowledge.
Enjoyable and informative. Kudos.
A good starter course!
