Made for curious minds

Host a class wherever your people gather.

Private gatherings. Community organizations. Wellness studios. Salons. Workplaces. Event venues. Dispensaries. If you have a group that wants to understand cannabis, this experience can be tailored to your audience, knowledge level, and learning goals.

In-person classes are available by appointment in Southern Maryland, including St. Mary’s, Calvert, and Charles counties. Other locations are considered by request.

The complete experience

One package. Everything you need to teach the room.

03 / THE CONVERSATION

Ask the real questions.

Twenty minutes of moderated Q&A to connect the lesson with everyday questions and reinforce what your guests learned.
