In 2017 UConn horticulture professor Gerald Berkowitz and a group of 40 students toured the facilities of Curaleaf, one of Connecticut’s four medical marijuana producers, and picked up an interesting tidbit.
“The CEO of the company was saying that he could never find any [job applicants] that had any knowledge of cannabis horticulture,” Berkowitz said. “In fact, there were no programs or anything in the country to address that.”
About two years later, Berkowitz established UConn’s first cannabis horticulture course through the university’s School of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The course was immediately popular with students, some of whom have parlayed that education into internships and jobs with cannabis companies.

SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass., May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ High Purity Natural Products today announced a warning for consumers and manufacturers about potentially harmful chemicals within Delta-8 THC.

During the last year, Delta-8 THC (D8) quickly became one of the hottest new products in the cannabis industry. With a chemical structure extremely close to the well-known Delta-9 THC (marijuana), it produces a similar yet less robust psychoactive effect. It rose to popularity because of that legal high. D8 infused gummies and vape cartridges are wildly popular and promoted aggressively via websites and social media.
