Source  – Every pothead’s dream degree program is set to roll out at a Canadian college next year. 

Niagara College, located in Ontario, Canada, will offer a one-year post-grad program in commercial cannabis production, i.e. large-scale weed farming.

Unfortunately, knowing how to grow schwag in a dorm room closet won’t get into one of the program’s 25 spots. 

The Toronto Star has further details: 

The first students, who must have earned a diploma or degree in horticulture, agricultural sciences or related fields to qualify for the program, will be part of Niagara’s “class of 2019.”

10 courses taking place over two semesters will offer students the opportunity to work with commercial cannabis producers and, hopefully, the opportunity to do a little “quality control.”

Al Unwin, the school’s associate dean of environmental and horticultural studies, said in an interview that the program was created to keep up with Canada’s fast-growing (see what we did there?) marijuana industry, which currently consists of 59 pot producers nationwide. 

“There’s a huge need for highly-skilled well-trained workers who are not only knowledgeable about the crop itself, but the legal requirements governed by Health Canada,” Unwin told the Star.

Just when you thought Canada’s inclusive immigration policies, Universal Health Care and freedom to practice whatever religion you like, couldn’t make this country anymore attractive, Niagara College puts this country of ours over the top.

Is it me or does it seem like everything your parents told you to do 20 years ago stop playing video games don’t smoke drugs seems to be total bullshit now?

Weed is about to become legal in Canada and probably the United States in the very near future. Esports is a multibillion-dollar industry that is growing faster than NASCAR in soccer combined.

It seems to me we should be telling our kids to play more video games and smoke more weed and learn about how to grow weed better if they want to be successful in life.
