From a culture. To a profession.
The New York SeshPair Academy trains and certifies the professionals of cannabis hospitality — the hosts, guides, and craft masters of the sesh. The curriculum is set. The standard is set. The first class convenes in January.
Classes start January · Week of January 12, 2027 · New York City
Admission by application
The two biggest markets in New York haven't met yet.
Tourists already pay for guided experiences of this city every single day. Legal cannabis is already a billion-dollar New York industry. Nobody owns the intersection — the guided, hosted, elevated sesh. The pros who get certified first are the ones who will.

Four tiers. Every pin earned.
Certification at the Academy is a path, not a paper — from Trainee to the summit of the craft. At every tier, the pin means the same thing: the Academy has vetted what a stranger can't.
The pin is the trust.
A market only exists where there's trust between the one serving and the one served. At this intersection, trust doesn't happen by accident — SeshPair builds it, in both directions.
- Every guest, verified. ID-checked, 21+, on a private, confirmed list — the pro always knows who's in the room.
- A watchdog on every session. Third-party escalation and support, on call — nobody hosts alone.
- A legal model underneath. An operating framework built on formal legal guidance: serve, never supply — so the craft stays on solid ground.
- The pin that proves it. Certification is portable credibility — a stranger trusts you on sight because the Academy already vetted what they can't.
Your craft is yours. Certification is what plugs it into the trust machine.
Six Houses. One standard.
House of Law
New York's rules, cold. What a host may do, what a pro never does, and why the firewall — serve, never supply — is the whole business.
House of Service
Hospitality as craft: reading a room, pacing a session, making every guest feel personally cared for.
House of Safety
Verification, dosing awareness, de-escalation, and the duty of care that makes a sesh trustworthy.
House of Business
Pricing, bookings, reputation, and building a practice on the marketplace — a certification is only worth what you book.
House of Roots
The culture and its history — who built it, who paid for it, and the respect the craft owes them.
House of Craft
The hands: rolling, pairing, presentation, the styled bud bar — the details guests remember.
Three steps in. A career out.
Teach us one thing
Send a 3-minute video teaching us anything about the craft. It's the only application that matters — we're recruiting people who can stand in front of a room.
Verify & interview
Every applicant is identity-verified and interviewed. Same standard as every SeshPair on the marketplace — the certification means something because entry does.
Certify & enter the market
Graduate carrying the pin, certified and listed on the SeshPair marketplace — hosting tours, events, and infused tables from your first booking.
The first class convenes the week of January 12.
Applications for the January class are open now. Seats are limited, and admission is by application — every candidate reviewed personally, every certification earned.
The gate is simple: you roll. The application is one video and everything you've got.
