Oaksterdam University

In 1997, Dr. Donald Abrams from the University of California San Francisco, working with patients dying from cancer, HIV, and AIDS, performed a study to see if there were any negative interactions between cannabis and HIV medications. He found that patients using cannabis were taking less prescription drugs regularly because cannabis was helping them reduce symptoms caused by necessary medications.

Oaksterdam University is excited to announce our new LIVE course, Raising funds for Cannabis Businesses. If you want to launch a business or expand an existing business, you will need some money to fund your plan. Unless you already have the amount you need, you will need to raise some capital from some other source that is willing to offer you financing. The two primary types of financing are debt financing, which is a loan that must be repaid, and equity financing, where yo...u offer up an ownership stake in your company in exchange for the money you need. Learn to identify the questions you will need to address from potential investors about your business model, the corporate structure of your business, your financial position, and any cannabis-specific operational challenges. The course materials are covered in 2 days. Here are the current scheduled dates: Part 1 Saturday, June 5th, 2021 Part 2 Saturday, June 12th, 2021 Seating is limited, register today. http://oaksterdam.com/arcview #oaksterdam #arcview

"For the first time ever, members of the Minnesota House of Representatives have approved legislation to legalize and regulate adult use marijuana and to automatically expunge past cannabis-related convictions. House File 600, sponsored by House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler (D), allows adults ages 21 and older to legally possess up to ten pounds of marijuana in a private residence, up to two ounces in public, and to home-cultivate as many as eight marijuana plants (up to four... mature) for personal use. The House chamber, which is Democrat-controlled, voted to approve the measure by a bipartisan vote of 72 to 61, thus sending the bill to the Republican-majority Senate for further consideration. Prior to reaching the House floor, the bill had received approval from twelve separate legislative committees. House File 600 also facilitates the automatic expungement of certain past marijuana convictions, allows for the on-site consumption of cannabis in licensed facilities, permits home delivery, and includes social equity provisions to reduce barriers of entry into the industry for communities that have historically been most adversely impacted by prohibition".- @natlnorml

Today is a very important 20th anniversary for all cannabis enthusiasts that you didn’t know existed. Now if you’ve had the joy of meeting Jeff Jones or having him as one of your Oaksterdam instructors, you think he is the Horticulture Master, but in truth he’s the Quiet Crusader. Those who know their cannabis legalization history know the legendary efforts of @jeffj420 20 years ago today, this man received the ruling passed down from The Supreme Court of The United States i...n The United States v Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Club (OCBC) As the longest-running cannabis-related civil case on record, this pivotal trial was the first to bring patients’ rights to the highest court in the land. Sure, we didn't get the federal solutions we all desired that day - (he lost 8-0, but has standing to return) and this case started a series of events that opened California, and all the subsequent states. If you feel safe consuming cannabis today, know it is because of people like @jeffj420 who were willing to stand up and risk everything. #SCOTUS #Cannabis #cannabiseducation #knowyourgrower #thankful #oaksterdam #cannabissaves #horticulture #patientsrights #themoreyouknow
