Commercializing Cannabis Science

This course focuses on understanding current developments in cannabis science, technology, medicine and commerce and how those developments create new career and commercialization opportunities. Students will explore actions that successful organizations, pharmaceutical companies, not-for-profit firms, non-governmental organizations, and other institutions and people take to develop innovative solutions in this industry. Emphasis will be placed on guiding students to examine the overlay of science, technology, and commerce challenges and opportunities existing in both highly urban and rural communities. Emphasis will be placed on analysing existing strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats towards identifying unique opportunities for innovations. Students will also explore ways they can address some of these unique opportunities by establishing a conceptual idea of their own commercialization, or not-for-profit pursuit while positioning themselves to meet corresponding challenges as attractive employees to firms in this industry.
