Sowing the Seeds
(Fox News) - A private university in Oakland, California, is giving new meaning to the term higher education.
Oaksterdam University teaches students how to grow, harvest, cook and dispense marijuana. School administrators say the goal is to teach consumers about the benefits of marijuana and encourage graduates to start their own dispensaries.
The French Press Agency reports more than 500 students have enrolled and so far 200 have graduated. But, the curriculum has not been greeted warmly by the Drug Enforcement Agency. DEA agent Michael Chapman says, "It reinforces a very complacent attitude by the public that marijuana is safe and effective when it's not."
The school's Chancellor Danielle Schumacher says her students are "using their degrees to lobby different levels of government."
