"It's clear from the hundreds of

we've received that becoming a Certified Ganjier dramatically elevates people's status, opportunities, and leadership in cannabis today," said Max Simon, CEO of Green Flower and Ganjier. "We've also heard, loud and clear, that as breathtaking of an experience it is at the 243-acre Ganjier Campus in Humboldt, CA, the growth of the program means our students also need more options and locations to be able to complete training and exams in a way that works for them."
