The school will offer four courses, with a primary focus on cultivation. Anyone that is interested in cultivating cannabis either as a patient, caregiver, or for a dispensary should take these courses.

"Our business model is a little different than others; we take a hands-on approach here & students will get dirty," says Sheridan Rafer, founder and instructor at IMC.

As both his brother-in-law and one of his best friends battle Multiple Sclerosis, Rafer takes the fight for medical cannabis seriously. He volunteers with United For Care, the organization responsible for getting Amendment 2 (Medical Marijuana) on the ballot, and created the Institute of Medical Cannabis to help patients & their caregivers gain the skills necessary to have access to the most affordable and highest quality medicine. With early approval projections well over 70%, Florida is expected to become the next medical marijuana state this November.

For the time being, it will only be vegetables & legal herbs that are grown at Palm Beach County's first mmj school; but you better believe they will be the best tasting organically grown vegetables & herbs you have ever had!

John M. Gatti Jr. M.S., instructor at IMC, has over 30 years' experience as a plant pathologist working in greenhouses & laboratories, cultivating plants, sampling soil, diagnosing and preventing diseases.

Rafer has over 10 years' experience growing and breeding cannabis; including award winning strains, & specializes in grow room design, medical marijuana strains & lineage, breeding, grow equipment, organic soil & nutrients, and harvest & post-harvest techniques.

Together, this dynamic duo has created a unique & streamlined curriculum designed to teach students in the most efficient and timely manner. Registration begins in April & classes are expected to fill quickly. For more information please contact the Institute of Medical Cannabis at IMCflorida.org
