On November 8th, 2016 Arkansas voted to legalize medical marijuana! Residents with one of 17 qualifying medical conditions — including cancer, glaucoma, and fibromyalgia may buy marijuana legally with a doctor’s recommendation. The law allows for 5 cultivation centers and 32 dispensaries. Applications were released on June 20th, 2017 and were accepted from June 30th – Sept. 18th 2017. The states says they plan to issue licenses within 30 days, with hope of the first plants will be in the ground by end of the year and Medical Marijuana Dispensaries will be opening in Spring 2018 around the state!
HempStaff’s four-hour course is designed to prepare participants for work in a medical marijuana dispensary so that business owners are getting educated and well-prepared candidates when they start to fill new positions.
The course educates the participants on cannabis and cannabis products along with all the information to keep up-to-date with Arkansas’s medical marijuana laws. HempStaff offers its students a resume review to help best prepare them for seeking employment in this course as well. The end of the course offers a certification exam, that the student must score at least 75 percent to get a HempStaff Dispensary Agent Certification. Since HempStaff is also a recruiting agency, when employers seek to fill entry level dispensary agents or cultivation site workers, students are contacted first.
HempStaff has trained and certified over 3,000 dispensary agents nationwide since 2014 and is considered the leader in Medical Marijuana Dispensary Education. HempStaff continues to hold classes across the United States. In addition to the class held in Arkansas, classes are currently scheduled for Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, California, Michigan and New England.
Those who have already taken the HempStaff course have provided exceptional feedback about the training.
