Your Instructor
Adolfo has spent over 17 years working in the cannabis industry. Starting off as a grower and supplier, Adolfo worked as a patient advocate and lobbyist to improve regulation. He has worked on a publication for the International Association of Cannabinoid Medicines and helped develop social programs to assist opiate users to decrease their use with the aide of subsidised cannabis capsules. Inspired by the countless experiences watching cannabis change lives, Adolfo set out to initiate the first local budtending program aimed to benefit both patients and dispensaries. The vision is to equip dispensaries with workers who possess a broader basis of knowledge when it comes to safely and effectively dispensing cannabis products – regardless of whether it is in a medical or recreational setting.
