A thoughtful first step

Full written lessons, glossary-card and paper preparation activities, lesson knowledge checks, a study journal and the workbook’s 15-question final assessment. The workbook’s readiness mark is 13 correct answers. Medicinal ingestion is never required. Afterward, explore the certificate pathway, Cannabis Studies or Formula Kitchen at your own pace.
