Cannabis workforce development programs gain steam in growing industry

Cannabis advocate Jacquie Cohen Roth is concerned that the rush of cannabis users going to dispensaries for the first time may not know what they’re getting into and is starting a new program to enable workers to better educate customers. Cohen Roth’s company CannabizMD is partnering with Baltimore’s CannaWorkforce to train underprivileged people to work entry-level jobs in the cannabis industry, with the goal of having a workforce that’s better educated on cannabis plant biology and preparation in all aspects of the industry.
