Course Curriculum

Marijuana and the Body: What the Latest Research Shows Us

In this module, we take a deep-dive into the latest scientific and/or peer-reviewed research on the physical and mental health effects of marijuana.
In addition, we also explore the different types of marijuana products, the amount of time to feel impairment, visible signs of impairment, and how to recognize these signs.

Best Practices of Checking IDs and Diversion Prevention

In this module, we share the battle-tested "U-CARD" framework that helps you and any other Marijuana Establishment Agent in easily and effectively checking IDs. But we don't just stop there.
We also delve deeper into the tactical tips and tricks of checking the most common forms of identification that you will likely come across. The fines and penalties for serving minors can be substantial, so we're to minimize that possibility!

Record and Inventory Tracking: Complying from Seed to Sale

In this module, we share the compliance tracking requirements that have been established by the Cannabis Control Commission. And, we dive deeper into best practices for interacting with METRC

Protecting Yourself from Licenses Sanctions and Criminal Liability

In this module, we share the various ways that Marijuana Establishments and their Agents can trip compliance requirements, and how to best prepare as well as respond to these incidents. 
These are not abstract lessons - we're here to share you real-life scenarios, which many Marijuana Establishments and Agents may face one day!

How to Create an Unrivaled Work Environment & Develop Cultural Competency

In this module, we share tactical advice on how to develop an unrivaled work environment for ALL employees - regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, background, or physical ability.
Drawing on lessons from leading non-profits and social organizations, we explore why diversity is important, how to train staff to de-escalate a tense situation, and the importance of engaging local communities.

Stay Clean: Health and Safety Standards

In this module, we explore all the requirements set by the Cannabis Control Commission to ensure that all marijuana and marijuana products are kept at the highest standards in Massachusetts.
Learn the broad facility requirements as well as the optimum processes for Agents to follow (e.g., wash your heart like a heart surgeon)!

The Do's and Dont's for Different Licenses

In this module, we explore the different rights granted to various state and local licensing and enforcement authorities.
Further, we go through each license type to better understand the stringent requirements that each licensee must adhere to.
