But those that have a few hundred grand and want to open up their own shop can learn a great deal from those classes.
LOL thats funny you mention that because the faculty there have literally written the book on marijuana from both growing (yeah ed has written the book, several of them in fact) and laws about legally providing cannabis as medicine (yes we can blame Dennis Peron for MMJ) and the lawyers who actually argued at the ummm I forget ... it was the court in bumm fuck no where doesn't matter Washington DC not that it matters but its called the US Supreme Court.
If there was anybody that you would want to network with it would be those guys. Yeah I will agree that Richard Lee is a greedy pig fucker. But still you're just being a hater, cause he came up with the idea first to blatently rip off Amsterdam.
It's not the people that are valuable, it's the knowledge. And Ed and the rest of them have been sharing their knowledge with the world for so long that it's all over the internet now...for free...except for that damn cable bill at the end of the month.
No sense in sitting there listening to someone talk somethin at ya when you can just as easily research it online. If you just like to hear it spoken, read it out loud to yourself.
Plus, whether or not you're going to be able to open up a pot shop depends mostly on local officials. If they don't want you there you can have all the schoolin in the world and it won't do a bit of good. If they do want you there, then your initial investment, lawyer, and personal research will get you there just fine.
I have a lot of respect for Ed and the rest of those guys...but if you don't have money to burn on meeting canna-celebs, you're not missing out on anything spectacular. Save your money for grow supplies and a legal retainer and you'll be much better off. Or if you just want to go to school, go to a real accredited university and get an MBA. It'll do you a hell of a lot more good in the real world.
