Program Overview
The Cannabis Plant Science Certificate is a one-day intensive training program that provides a foundational understanding of the cannabis plant, its therapeutic benefits, and its biological functions. This course explores the plant’s potential in treating various medical conditions, its legal availability for therapeutic use, and the mechanisms by which cannabinoids interact with the human endocannabinoid system. Participants will gain insights into plant biology, including anatomy, cellular structures, plant growth hormones, and the functional significance of different plant parts. The program also delves into the science behind phytocannabinoids and terpenes, emphasizing their combined roles in modulating therapeutic outcomes. Designed to support career development in cannabis cultivation, extraction, and quality assurance, the training is highly interactive, offering opportunities for direct engagement with instructors to clarify concepts or address questions.
