If you want to be a Cannabis professional, you should look at Oaksterdam University in Oakland. If MJ expands, you will be ahead of the curve. You can also become a budtender, where you would learn from the mgmt and vendors. It's a great position to have if you don't know all the strains and don't have the ability to define them. Move to a medical state and apply. BT's get a great education on the job. You'll be counting bud a lot, but you'll see how it works from inside. And you can be a BT and a cultivator. There's no reason to separate the two.
My best advice is to decide to do this after a few days of not smoking. If you are sober for a few days, and you still want to move bud, then I'd say buy yourself a bus ticket to the nearest club.
