Markets in everything: Marijuana U.
From an interesting story via KNBC:
Welcome to Oaksterdam University, a new trade school where "higher education" takes on a whole new meaning.
The school prepares people for jobs in California's thriving medical marijuana industry.
For $200 and the cost of two required textbooks, students learn how to cultivate and cook with cannabis, study which strains of pot are best for certain ailments, and are instructed in the legalities of a business that is against the law in the eyes of the federal government.
The only prerequisite for the course is a Politics/Legal Issues 101 class.
