Oaksterdam University is recognized as America's first cannabis college. Located in Oakland, CA, the educational facility and "political institution" was founded in November 2007 by medical marijuana activist Richard Lee to offer quality training for the cannabis industry, with a mission to "legitimize the business and work to change the law to make cannabis legal." Its main campus is located in the Oaksterdam area of Downtown Oakland, California. The university once had campuses in Los Angeles, Sebastopol, and Michigan. Currently the only brick & mortar campus resides in Oakland. As of recently, the school has taken their world-renowned program on the road, conducting 2 to 4 day seminars in order to meet the demand for education. Oaksterdam visited Atlantic City and Denver, Colorado, and are scheduled to visit Las Vegas, Washington D.C. and the rest of the nation.
