Meet Ed Rosenthal, the ‘Guru of Ganja’
Ed Rosenthal is called the ‘Guru of Ganja’ because he’s the world’s leading expert on the cultivation of cannabis, bringing nearly 50 years years of experience to his writings and teachings. We’re fortunate to count him among CTU’s faculty, enabling us to incorporate his industry-recognized books into our certification program curriculum.
Ed Rosenthal holds the distinction of turning more people on to pot than Cheech and Chong. – Tommy Chong
Mr. Rosenthal is the pothead’s answer to Ann Landers – Judge Judy
Martha Stewart, and the Burpee Garden Wizard all in one. – The New York Times
Ed Rosenthal’s “Ask Ed” marijuana advice column ran in High Times for several decades and still appears internationally. Rosenthal now consults for commercial growers around the world independently and as a team member of Quantum 9, a cannabis consulting service.
Beyond the garden, Rosenthal views marijuana law as a crucial social issue and has been active in promoting and developing policies of civil regulation. He was tried in federal court for cultivation in 2003. The jury was not allowed to hear that he was deputized by the City of Oakland to provide marijuana for patients. His trial shifted public opinion in favor of state medical marijuana laws.
He currently serves as the Executive Director of Green Aid: The Medical Marijuana Legal Defense and Education Fund and has been an expert witness for many federal, state, and civil marijuana cases.
