The Institute of Medical Cannabis is growing as November's Vote Approaches

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As November's highly anticipated vote on medical marijuana draws near, the Institute of Medical Cannabis (aka IMC Florida) is betting on the passage of Amendment 2!  IMC Florida is Palm Beach County's first, & one of only a handful of actual brick-and-mortar locations in the state of Florida where you can take courses on medical marijuana.  Today they are happy to announce a new strategic alliance with one of Florida's largest medical marijuana staffing companies, HempStaff!  "This relationship will help both companies enable individuals to find positions within the mmj industry & get the proper training necessary for such positions," says Sheridan Rafer, President of IMC Florida.  In addition, IMC Florida welcomes their newest instructor Bryan Wackes, who recently moved back to Florida from California where he graduated from Oaksterdam University as the valedictorian & worked in the industry for several years.

Florida's medical marijuana industry (if Amendment 2 passes in November) is expected to be the 2'nd largest in the country, only behind California!  With annual sales estimated to range between $700 million to several billion dollars, there's no secret why so many Floridians are anxious to learn how they can get involved.  Florida's Department of Health estimates that there will be approximately 417,252 qualified patients, over 250,000 caregivers, & about 1,800 medical marijuana treatment centers, AKA Dispensaries.  "This industry will be looking to hire individuals that have experience first, but since that's a rather limited pool to pick from, proper training & education will be the next best thing for individuals trying to get to the top of the list for new hires," says Rosie - Co-Founder and VP of Recruiting at HempStaff.

If you're interested in participating in Florida's medical marijuana industry & would like more information about our courses, how to get licensed &/or general information about the industry, mmj, & indoor horticulture go to www.IMCflorida.org

Registration is now open for October & November classes!

* Until changes are initiated in the state and/or federal law, all hands-on training at IMC will be conducted with vegetables and herbs which are organically similar to cannabis.
