Universities Offer Marijuana Masters

Putting the "high" in higher education.

Recently, The University of Maryland School Pharmacy announced a new Master of Science in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics this fall. According to a university press release that degree is designed to teach students how to "support patients and the medical cannabis industry, add to existing research, and develop well-informed medical cannabis policy."


Although you'd have to be living under a rock not to notice the way that marijuana legalization is spreading across the country; we were still a little surprised. When we looked into the issue further we realized that the Univ. of Maryland wasn't the only cannabis college in the country. Northern Michigan University now offers a four year degree program in medicinal plants chemistry.

Even in states where recreational is illegal; a few colleges have launched cannabis studies in preparation for legalization or for students willing to travel to weed friendly states.


Colorado, an undisputed leader in the field along with California includes a county that gave out scholarships to 600 students using marijuana taxes.
