Expanding on cannabis knowledge-how did you learn about this stuff?

While I doubt the existence of weed was something you were enlightened to in recent years, I am wondering where some of yall were able to enrich your knowledge of cannabis and anything related to it. 
was it through experience that you grew over time yourself? Was it a crazy night of googling everything you could and lurking in r/trees? did you have a friend or a lover that showed you the ways? 

and furthermore, I'm really curious if any of you have a more formal cannabis education such as a college class, budtender training, perhaps a seminar or event, or even growing yourself. I've actually been looking through the course material of a cannabis class available for free on coursera, from I think the university of boulder? it's really interesting to learn not only the long and robust history of usage but exactly how and where THC and CBD affect the body and mind. theres a lot of great stuff this can be used to help in the future if we can just better study it! 

It's okay if you don't have college level understanding of psychoactive substances, but maybe someone reading this topic can find new ways to further their knowledge and understanding of something that brings so much joy! And I would love if yall could help others learn some interesting stuff :)

also post any weed fun facts you might have <3

Honestly, way too much from High Times mags lmfao. My journey started in the late 90s so there wasn't too much around on the web, not that I could find anyway. I was the kid that asked the librarian for books about "mushrooms" The day I found erowid I couldn't believe what I was seeing, a world of people talking about drugs openly without fear! There were 2 other mags - Skunk and Heads - Skunk is still barely clinging to life the last I checked, Heads runs an insta but doesn't publish anymore. 

I never took a cannabis course but my brain probably contains all the knowledge of one from over the years lol. I didn't grow any for myself for a long time because of the living situation, but I helped everyone I knew with their babies. I finally have one of my own this year and she's growing like crazy 💚 I might have to check out that course you mentioned though, sounds cool.

My weed fun fact is that my province is the birthplace of cannabis in Canada! We smoke more weed than any other province per capita.
