In this conversation, I sit down with Derek Gilman, the managing director of the Ganjier Cannabis Certification program.

With it's unique program design of online and in-person training in the heart of cannabis country, the Systematic Assessment Protocol for thorough cannabis evaluation, the rigorous final exam and the connections that you'll make, The Ganjier program is different than anything else out there.

In this episode we talk about what makes the Ganjier Certification unique, how it began, what Ganjiers are doing with their certification and a whole lot more!

  • Jeff, Ganjier + The Kush Coach. This is what inspired me to become a Ganjier. I’ve always been passionate about cannabis and education. I teach home growers for free and this program has allowed me to help these people beyond any point I could have imagined. The Ganjier program to me means growth within the community, it means properly educating people, it means directing people towards a healthier, more comfortable way of life. As someone who has suffered from epilepsy since I was young I’ve dedicated myself to understanding this plant to help others' suffering. I started growing and consuming cannabis at the age of 16 in the year 2000 and soon realized its potential. The Ganjier program has taken what I do to a level I could have never expected. In short being a Ganjier means Compassion on every level.
