Get an advanced degree in weed at Nevada's first 'pot college'

The Budtender School (ugh) at the Cannabis Career Institute in Nevada launched last weekend with a workshop for about 40 students. Institute founder Robert Calkin says the school is a primer for anyone who wants to get into the medical marijuana business, teaching students how to grow marijuana legally and bake it into brownies, cookies and cakes. Calkin says a successful dispensary can make $250,000 a year and up to $10,000 a day, which definitely justifies the $249 cost of the daylong seminar. It's the one college where getting high and eating junk food qualifies as "cramming." Well, here and UC Santa Cruz.
