CannaU: The Cannabis Training Engine Within Your LMS—Built By and For Operators

You’ve carried the weight of compliance—duct-taping training, juggling turnover, and fighting for legitimacy in a system built to slow you down.

That’s why we didn’t just rebrand a generic LMS—we built CannaU: cannabis-specific training that plugs into your LMS or HCM, designed by people who’ve lived your reality.

Whether you're onboarding 15 budtenders, managing multi-state regs, prepping for audits, or chasing down completions—CannaU meets you there. Mobile-ready, role-specific, and compliance-aligned, it’s the training platform your team actually needs to grow with confidence.

What You Stand to Lose

Without CannaU, This Is the Reality

Is your cannabis team still piecing together training from scattered PDFs, outdated content, or recycled systems? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle.

Compliance Gaps Put Your License at Risk

Missing METRC training, expired OSHA certs, or a lack of role-specific education can lead to fines, license suspensions—or worse. In cannabis, compliance is currency.

Disconnected Training Tools Cost Time and Trust

Generic LMS platforms can’t keep up with the real-world needs of cannabis HR teams. Dispensary managers, cultivation directors, and front-line employees deserve better than workarounds.

Disengaged Employees Don’t Just Leave—They Quiet Quit First

When training feels irrelevant or uninspired, employees don’t just miss certifications—they lose connection to the mission. They stop leveling up. They stop believing in their own growth within your company. That’s when culture suffers, retention tanks, and turnover starts quietly draining your budget—and your momentum.

Untrained Staff Can Wreck More Than a Shift—They Can Jeopardize the Brand

Whether it's a retail associate giving a minor misinformation, a processor mishandling compliance-sensitive inventory, or a manufacturer skipping a critical safety protocol—lack of education can lead to fines, failed audits, product recalls, or worse. In cannabis, one mistake doesn’t just impact the day—it can damage your license, your reputation, and your customers’ trust.

This Isn’t Just Training. It’s Cannabis-Specific Readiness

CannaU is more than an LMS—it’s a shield, a strategy, and a show of solidarity.

Born out of Paragon's Cannabis Committed pledge, CannaU is the industry's first LMS purpose-built to train, retain, and protect licensed cannabis teams. From onboarding to annual audits, we’ve baked in the regulatory rigor and cultural understanding you need.

If you’re curious about what Cannabis Commitment really means to us, here’s the full story.

But for now, see how CannaU is just one of the many ways our Cannabis Commitment shows up—built to protect your people, your license, and your legacy.

Onboard New Employees with Confidence

Whether you're a dispensary onboarding 10 new budtenders before 4/20 or a licensed lab hiring fresh techs for QA protocols, CannaU helps you launch training day one. Pre-built modules cover compliance, cannabis culture, and SOPs by department—so legacy operators and fast-growing MSOs alike can get new hires certified, compliant, and floor-ready without slowing down.

Hire for Potential, Not Just Experience

Running a hemp farm in Appalachia? Launching a CBD retail concept in Florida? Opening your first vertically integrated location in New York? CannaU lets you hire from outside the industry and train from the ground up. Intro courses on plant history, seed-to-sale lifecycle, and industry ethics make it easy to turn newcomers into educated contributors—no industry résumé required.

Enhance (Not Replace) Your Compliance Stack

Already using OSHA or METRC trainings? CannaU doesn’t compete—it complements. If you’re a Compliance Director managing retail, grow, lab, and distro under one license, our modular paths add cannabis-contextualized training to reinforce what your team already needs to know. From secure transport SOPs to caregiver patient interactions, it’s compliance that meets you where you are.

Roll Out Standardized Annual Training Across All Locations

Multi-state operator with 12 retail stores? Or a local cannabis brand looking to maintain consistency across manufacturing, cultivation, and packaging? CannaU helps HR teams deliver brand-aligned refreshers that keep your voice, your standards, and your service experience sharp—whether you’re in Michigan, Maryland, or Montana.

Build Growth Paths with Ad Hoc Development Tracks

Want to upskill your delivery drivers on customer interaction? Teach your cultivation crew better cross-departmental comms? Or give your dispensary floor leads a path into management? CannaU supports one-off training needs across retail, wholesale, transport, and even tribal or caregiver operations—making employee growth real, measurable, and accessible from any device.

Train from Anywhere, Anytime

With mobile-first access, employees can complete certifications and compliance modules from their phones—on break, between shifts, or during onboarding.
