What is a Certified Ganjier?
A Ganjier, often considered the cannabis equivalent of a sommelier, is a trained and certified professional in the art and science of cannabis. Much like sommeliers with wine, ganjiers possess an in-depth knowledge of cannabis strains, their flavor profiles, effects, and the best consumption methods. They are experts in assessing quality, ensuring that consumers receive the best possible product tailored to their needs and preferences.
The role of a Ganjier is crucial in settings where making informed, sophisticated choices about cannabis is essential—whether for medicinal purposes, personal enjoyment, or culinary ventures. This certification not only enriches the Ganjier’s understanding and appreciation of cannabis but also elevates the consumer’s experience by providing guidance and expertise in a refined, educational manner.
What is the training and certification process for becoming a Certified Ganjier?
The training and certification of a Ganjier are rigorous and comprehensive, designed to equip individuals with a deep understanding of cannabis, much like a sommelier with wine. This program involves extensive education on botany, cultivation methods, science of cannabis, and cannabis service. Participants learn to assess the quality and characteristics of cannabis through appearance, aroma, flavor, and effects. The certification process involves 10 online courses, 2 day live training and 3 part exam in Humboldt, CA.
The certification process also covers the legal and ethical aspects of cannabis use, ensuring that Ganjiers operate within the boundaries of regulations. Additionally, the program emphasizes customer service and hospitality, teaching Ganjiers how to curate personalized experiences that meet the specific preferences and needs of consumers. Overall, becoming a certified Ganjier requires a commitment to continuous learning and a passion for enhancing the cannabis consumption experience through expert knowledge and refined taste.

Meet Kelly: The Ganjier Guiding Your Cannabis Experience at Soul & Mind Social
Kelly, the visionary behind Herb Talks, is a certified Ganjier with 3.5 years of involvement in the cannabis industry. A graduate of Biola University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, Kelly has skillfully combined her academic background with her passion for cannabis. As a writer, reviewer, content creator, and expert hash hole roller, she channels her expertise into educating others about cannabis.
Cannabis knowledge is vital, as this industry grows to be more inclusive. Unfortunately this knowledge has been hidden from us until the past couple decades or so. It’s why I want to keep sharing knowledge as for most of my life I wasn’t aware of cannabis and its medicinal benefits. I believe everyone should understand the good that this plant brings and to not be afraid of it.
Kelly, certified Ganjier & founder of Herb Talks

How does a Ganjier pair cannabis with food and drinks?
Kelly from Herb Talks will bring her extensive Ganjier expertise to the Soul & Mind Social, using her deep knowledge of cannabis to masterfully pair different strains with the event’s food and drinks. Her approach involves a nuanced understanding of the flavor profiles, terpenes, and effects of various cannabis strains, enabling her to match them perfectly with specific culinary creations.
For instance, she might select a strain with citrusy terpenes to complement a seafood dish, or choose a strain with earthy notes to enhance the richness of a meat-based entrée. Kelly’s selections aim to not only augment the flavors of the dishes but also to harmonize the psychoactive effects of cannabis with the overall dining experience. This thoughtful pairing process ensures that each course not only tastes exquisite but also contributes to the desired ambiance and mood of the event, making each meal both a gastronomic and a sensory delight.
