About Trichome Institute
With the lack of standardized education being a shared problem across every aspect of the cannabis industry; credible, accurate, and thoroughly researched information is critical to uniting communities and overcoming prohibition. Filling this gap by providing reliable education is the core of Trichome’s mission. Trichome develops high-quality courses and industry recognized certifications to educate consumers, dispensary staff, consultants, entrepreneurs, government entities, and more.

Meet the Team
Max Montrose - President
Before Trichome Institute was a company and interpening was a thing, Max was teaching mmj patients in Colorado how to figure out which bud was best for them. The foundation of Trichome stems from a guy who loves cannabis, wants to help people, and most likely is from another universe. Max’s favorite things to do when he’s not on conference calls or doing podcasts include:
-Traveling the world in search of the most exotic reptiles and other creatures that most people are terrified of
-Going to stoned yoga in hopes of finding the love of his life (Update – he found her!)
-Talking to his plants… like full conversations… they talk back…
Jim Nathanson - CEO
Jim met Max at a conference back in the day and was blown away by the Weed Wheel™. After several months of talking about Max’s vision for the world of weed, accompanied by countless menorah bong hits, Max somehow talked Jim into writing him a fat check, and Trichome Institue was officially created! Jim’s favorite things to do when he’s not writing checks or telling the team to focus include:
-Being out on his boat where there is no cell service, catching dinner with his daughters and wife
-Polishing his enormous collection of Grateful Dead records
-Telling really painful dad jokes that would even make one of the guys from Jackass uncomfortable
