Cannabis Education Efforts | 2.3.21
If lawmakers approve the legalization of recreational cannabis in this year’s legislative session, the issue of education and training for industry workers and medical professionals will be a top priority. This week on “Growing Forward” we dive back into this important issue. Hosts Andy Lyman (New Mexico Political Report) and Megan Kamerick (NMPBS & KUNM) talk with Shannon Jaramillo, cannabis educator and founder of Seed Crest. Jaramillo has worked with Northern New Mexico College to set up an accredited cannabis education program. Also joining them is Matthew Fogel, a registered nurse and author of “The Green Elephant: The Healthcare Provider’s Essential Guide to Understanding and Addressing Medical Cannabis and CBD.” Note: This week, a pair of bills related to the legalization of recreational cannabis were officially filed in the New Mexico Legislature. You can read much more about the bills and what they would do, in Andy’s latest article for the NM Political Report.
