Now Enrolling: Maine's Marijuana State University

The West Coast has Oaksterdam University, which bills itself as the nation's first "cannabis college," and now the East Coast has ... Marijuana State University. It's actually a roving one-man workshop in Maine with the goal of teaching people how to grow high-quality medical marijuana, reports the Portland Press Herald. "There's a huge need for (knowledge), and some people aren't sure where to get it," explains instructor Ray Logan.

The state has about 1,000 registered medical marijuana patients—Logan is one of them—and MSU hopes to grow as the number expands. The first three-hour workshop (which costs $79, or $59 if you're a student, senior, or veteran) took place this month and the second is set for May. But the classroom isn't quite the stoner's paradise it might seem: So as not to tangle with the law, Logan uses basil in his demonstrations, not the real stuff. (More medical marijuana stories.)
