As the legalization of medical marijuana increases throughout the country, many people are jumping at the chance to become a part of an emerging business. The article entitled “Learning How to Grow Medical Marijuana” in the Times magazine is very interesting. It tells the story of a young man aware of the changing times and brave enough to establish the Med Grow Cannabis College in Southfield Michigan. Despite the obstacles and resistance that he faced, Nick Tennant raised money and came up with a business plan that worked. The Med Grow College trains patients and potential caregivers about various aspects of not only growing techniques but also the legal aspects of marijuana. This education can prove to be valuable in the near future due to the increasing amount of support that medical marijuana is gaining. District of Columbia and 14 states, including Michigan have legalized the medical use of marijuana (Gray, 1). And I expect that legislation against marijuana use will increasingly be liberated as positive results are observed. This article shows us how integral an educated marijuana grower could be to the future of our society; maybe just as important as an auto mechanic is now.
