Ann Arbor was featured as part of a video aimed at exploring the growing medical marijuana industry since Proposal 1 made marijuana use for medical purposes legal in the state last year.

One student looking to become a caregiver and patient in the medical marijuana system took a course offered by the company named Oaksterdam University, which has offered courses in Ann Arbor on how to legally and safely cultivate marijuana. According to its Web site, Oaksterdam last offered a course in Ann Arbor from Sept. 5-7.

The New York Times story focused on Med Grow Cannabis College in the Detroit area, which offers 6-week training course in understanding the legal and horticultural aspects of growing medical marijuana - as well as how to use it in edibles.
