Robert Calkin, President & CEO, CCI As one of the original members of the American Hemp Council in 1988 with Chris Conrad (world famous cannabis expert witness) and Jack Herer (the godfather of Hemp, creator of many strains of marijuana popular today), Calkin’s activism and entrepreneurial spirit led him to begin creating jobs in the medical marijuana industry. In 1988, Calkin opened his own private patient group that is still operating today: Green Dot — America’s FIRST branded marijuana delivery service. This collective has taken care of thousands of AIDS patients, cancer patients, and terminally ill or home bound people over the years. Since then, he has become the face of medical marijuana jobs. He founded the Cannabis Career Institute in 2009 and Cannajobs in 2010. He wrote the curriculum for Oakland’s Oaksterdam University, which was the basis for his 2008 cannabis entrepreneurship bible. As the author of “Start Your Own Medical Marijuana Delivery Service: The Mobile Caregiver’s Handbook,” Calkin is currently the Delivery 102 Professor at Oaksterdam University. “I have helped create and grow literally hundreds of medical marijuana businesses legally,” said Calkin. “I have the knowledge and skills required to do this and my goal is to spread the word to make as many businesses legitimate as possible.” He is also the host of “Careers In Cannabis,” a talk show that features the top names in the cannabis business.
