Harborside founder Andrew Deangelo declares, "The thing that Javier so much that I love, is that he is a great writer, a great educator." Neeno Laflex, Budtender of the Year 2019 wrote, "The articles are amazing educational tools for anyone in the cannabis industry especially budtenders." Budtender Education Cannabis Education for Budtenders. "I need something to help me sleep" is a common request patients have for Budtenders, those serving cannabis products behind the counter at cannabis dispensaries. Budtenders are the key industrial human link between Brands and patients within cannabis retail. As more states legalize cannabis, more dispensaries form, hiring those to sell cannabis to patients. More and more people find themselves in a new profession, as a Budtender. Who educates and trains the Budtenders to help patients? Do medical officials educate Budtenders about insomnia, cancer, or other illnesses? Do dispensaries have professional relationships with hospitals? Unfortunately, no because of the federal criminalization of cannabis. There is a lack of educational training in cannabis. Federal criminalization of cannabis created the lack of a standard scientific and historical knowledge of cannabis. With a rapid legalization movement state by state, thousands of people are becoming Budtenders overnight, without the necessary training and education. As a result, tension arises at the point of exchange with patient medical needs not being met by the young industry. I dedicate this Budtender Education book series to addressing and challenging that problem, offering cutting edge quality educational cannabis content. -22 Original essays-19,000 words-Original and powerful multi-disciplinary analysis-Rich retail experience and relationships with over 100 cannabis retailers. -Author was a Budtender from 2004-07-Author is an official Oakland Equity Cannabis Business owner of Javier's Organics-Javier's Organics is the official publisher of Budtender Education-Leader of new genre of writing, Equity Cannabis literature.
