FAQ

Three primary types of students take CFA. The first are those who are brand new to cannabis. So, if you’ve never touched the reefer before or only dabble a couple of times a year, this course will help you understand much more than the basics of pot. The next type of student includes those that we call “second first-timers.” Parents, grandparents, and hell, maybe even great grandparents that used to partake back in the day when there was only 5% THC is the stickiest of ickiest! We promise you that if you enjoyed the ganja back in the day, it’s not the same bud anymore! This course will bring you up to speed on everything you need to know about cannabis to walk into a dispensary confidently.

The final type of CFA students enjoys learning new things about weed, getting a good chuckle here and there while smoking a jay, and enjoying hanging out with the virtual Trichome crew. Students who took our advanced courses say they loved CFA just because it’s a fun, light-hearted course!

Yuppers! We’ve uploaded about 50% of the CFA course on YouTube. So, if you’re looking to learn but aren’t sure if you’re ready to open up your piggy bank to Trichome quite yet, go check out the videos! However, if you want to take the course in total, enjoy the mini-quizzes and not be distracted by funny cat videos, enroll and earn your certificate!

Nope! There are mini-quizzes throughout the course to help test your noggin’ and make sure you’re paying attention, but there isn’t an official final exam. Oh, and if you fail the quizzes, you get the retake them. The goal here is to make sure you’re knowledgeable about the things you need to know about cannabis, not pressure you with a test and a career change! So, grab your sesh box, dim the lights, get snuggled up in your favorite recliner, and enjoy learning about weed with us while laughing at our bad jokes.
