“I’m Getting My Ducks In A Row To Sell,” He Said.
“My Companies Are Going To Sell For Millions Of Dollars !!!.
We Already Have Billionaires Coming Around Saying They’re Interested.”
Calkin, a veteran of the marijuana industry from before it was legal in California, is positioning himself and his more than 2,000 CCI graduates for the expected industry explosion. Since opening CCI five years ago, his teaching team has expanded to include lawyers, accountants, a dietician, and edibles and grow consultants. Students’ $299 tuition buys them lifetime access to the class, where they can network and stay up-to-date on state and federal laws.
He may not always be at the helm of this growing career college. “I’m getting my ducks in a row to sell,” he said. “My companies are going to sell for millions of dollars.We already have billionaires coming around saying they’re interested.”
He said when he does sell CCI, he will likely stay on as an employee. Unless he’s too busy with his newest project, creating Cannabis State University, an online university and learning exchange, for which he is helping develop curriculum for accredited colleges and universities that want to include dispensary management in their curriculum.
“My role is to facilitate the information for the professors,” Calkin said. “Students will be able to earn a business degree with a minor in dispensary management. It’s being developed as we speak by professors that are actual real professors creating real curriculum. They need the information from us — the stoner guys. So it will be the stoners teaching the professors who teach the regular kids.”
