At first I was sceptical about enrolling for the course, but after the first lesson I was hooked. Enjoyed the course it clarified a lot of things that we were falsely taught about Cannabis. Cheeba Africa is really doing a phenomenal work by making such knowledge available. I would highly recommend it, thank you.
