Institute founder Robert Calkin says the school is a primer for anyone who wants to get into the medical marijuana business, teaching students how to grow marijuana legally and bake it into brownies, cookies and cakes. Calkin says a successful dispensary can make $250,000 a year and up to $10,000 a day, which definitely justifies the $249 cost of the daylong seminar. It's the one college where getting high and eating junk food qualifies as "cramming." Well, here and UC Santa Cruz.  MSN
