Medical Marijuana Supporters Tout Job Growth

This story from The New York Times profiles Med Grow Cannabis College, a school in Michigan that teaches the ins and outs of medical marijuana.

It's not a college per se, but instead a class training people in the state's newly legal medical marijuana industry. The Times calls it "a cross between an agricultural extension class and a gathering of serious potheads, sharing stories of their best highs."

The class is founded by 24-year-old Nick Tennant, who said that hundreds of jobs can be created in the medical marijuana industry.

Yet there's still a stigma. An instructor and several students interviewed for the article didn't want to be photographed or their names used.
