Have you ever felt like your career should be something bigger than yourself? Have you ever wanted to know that you are contributing to a better world when you go to work in the morning? If so, you might consider a career in cannabis. Cannabis is changing the world on a daily basis. You can be part of it by training for a career in the industry.
Here in the U.S., the drive to legalize cannabis began in the mid-1990s. We have come a long way. As of January 2025, just four states continue to prohibit cannabis in any form. Seven states restrict it to some degree, while the remaining 39 have given the green light to medical cannabis, recreational consumption, or both.
A Growing Industry with Jobs
The cannabis industry has nowhere to go but up. It is a growing industry with jobs waiting to be filled. Better yet, there is a very real possibility that the federal government will reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. If and when they do, even better things lie in store for the industry.
What does this mean to you? It means the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an industry that is expected to flourish over the next several decades. Whether you are just starting your career or are looking for something better than what you have now, training for work in cannabis is your opportunity to better yourself and contribute to something that is changing the world.

Jobs in the Cannabis Industry
The cannabis industry is divided into a number of different businesses. Growers cultivate plants, harvest them, and ready them for sale. Processors convert cannabis plant material into retail products. Dispensaries and pharmacies sell those products to customers. Finally, testing organizations provide the services necessary to ensure quality control.
With all of that in mind, here are some of the cannabis courses ProTrain offers:
