Greenway University is getting its own Denver campus. The medical marijuana school has been approved by Colorado's Board of Higher Education. It will be the first state licensed marijuana school in the country. It teaches students "how to grow, sell and distribute medical marijuana."

Approximately 1,000 students have attended Greenway University in since it started satellite classes in downtown Denver last year. It is expanding so fast it needs a permanent campus and eight full-time instructors.

"We've got an extra botanist, geneticist, we really have some skilled and talented master growers, and all of our growers have a minimum of five years experience and grow for thousands of patients," Escamilla said.

Marijuana is not allowed in the classrooms....for now.

    but I heard "rethink drug laws" ain't in the presidential vocabulary.

    How many DEA undercover narcs signing up for classes I wonder?  And how do they sleep at night?

     has had a medical marijuana school  for at least nine months.  In fact, I think it is eligible for job training funds.
