BALTIMORE (WJZ) — As more states legalize cannabis for medical use, the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy is launching the nation’s first master’s program to train students about the science and policies of medical marijuana.

The two-year program, based at the Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville, is designed for health care practitioners, scientists, regulators, dispensary owners and industry professionals.

Classes will be primarily held online, with an in-person symposium held each semester.

I hope we are conquered by the Chinese rather than the muslims….

At least the Chinese will limit the gang rapes to the first 6 months or so :-/

Wonder if Dr. Reefer, from the billboard ads, will be on the faculty.

My new ophthalmologist casually mentioned a new painkiller derived from marijuana applied after cataract surgery. But it was the big grin that came with the news that told me to find a new eye surgeon. :-/

Makes a certain amount of sense:

“The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy (UMSOP) has launched a new Master of Science (MS) in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to support patients and the medical cannabis industry, add to existing research in the field, and develop well-informed medical cannabis policy. Based at the Universities at Shady Grove (USG) in Rockville, Md., the two-year program blends online learning with face-to-face experiences, and is designed for any individual who has completed his or her undergraduate degree and is interested in pursuing a career in the medical cannabis industry.

“The MS in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics is the first graduate program in the country dedicated to the study of medical cannabis. It aims to meet the needs of all individuals interested in advancing their knowledge about medical cannabis, including health care professionals such as physicians, nurses, and pharmacists; scientists and regulators; growers and dispensary owners; and policy and industry professionals.” - https://www.umaryland.edu/news/archived-news/june-2019/newspressreleaseshottopics/nations-first-masters-program-in-medical-cannabis.php
