Excellent! A pleasure to learn from Professor Hutchison. Looking forward to the next class.
I really liked this course it was very informative! There is so much dodgy information on the web on this topic and it is really nice to learn from a reliable source.
Will clear out many doubts and myths about the industry. Very easy to read. Quizes and assignments really connected to the material.
Love it, learn from the beginning of the barriers and Nixon. Studies that shows cannabis is necessary natural medicine.
