$800 for a course very much like working as a clerk, in a liquor store? What a total rip off!

There are actually 3 courses to get their digital gold star. OTOH there is more to the business than clerks and plant tenders. There are people who are making serious money in a serious business. I would be surprised if this course was a way to get
there. It looks like all the college gets out of it is a sales commission and some free publicity.

Oregon is not throwing any spaghetti, Nosir! They are only condoning free, & legal enterprise, through their, "State Right".... OTOH, do you think Federal student loans might be available, to develop the students job skills, in such a line of work?
If so, it looks like "Brandon" , is not only "soft", on M.J., but since he's not throwing a fit about the moral outrage, he's actually encouraging "Pothead Culture", by his ipso facto enablement!
