The University of Cannabis (UniCann) announces its’ official launch as the largest school for marijuana education with over 30 different classes, 10 academic departments, a graduate learning program and capacities to seat over 3,000 students in an online or physical classroom setting. UniCann strategically partnered with iGrow, the full service marijuana superstore, to house its main campus in Oakland at the 15,000 square foot facility, where the first nearly sold-out seminar is taking place on May 22nd and May 23rd.

As the legalization initiative in California’s November ballot approaches and marijuana becomes more mainstream, hundreds of thousands of interested people from all walks of life eager to learn more about this flowering industry are turning to marijuana education as a starting point. With marijuana education only available in a few states and many interested cannabis patients confined to their homes, “establishing the first online medical marijuana University seemed like the right thing to do” says 25-year old founder Dhar Mann.

“Every day I’m amazed at the people I meet wanting to learn more about the cannabis industry. It’s not potheads and stoners, it’s patients, parents and professionals.”

He further noted that UniCann’s first graduating class in Oakland will include three City Councilmembers who have already signed up for UniCann’s political and legal classes taking place on May 22nd and May 23rd.

Mann took several measures to ensuring this higher learning institution would be a credible learning resource. The courses have college-style course numbering systems, ranging from 001 for new “seedlings” all the way to 199 for graduate-level “cannasseurs”. The legal classes are taught by lawyers, and the medical courses are taught by doctors. UniCann also released the first industry certification program, with four different certifications levels, each having different pre-requisite and testing requirements. Most importantly, Mann wanted to assemble a faculty comprised of the most exceptional intellectuals and industry advocates, so he turned to his life-mentor and Oakland’s former two-term Vice Mayor and Councilmember, Leo Bazille.

Bazille felt his call-to-action in the cannabis movement stemming from the medical, political and socioeconomic opportunities emerging from this industry. “I was honored to being offered the Chancellor position at the University of Cannabis. By being the voice of UniCann and the center of the cannabis movement, I’ll be in a position to dispel the many falsehoods surrounding medical marijuana and better inform the public on the many wonders of this forbidden fruit.”
