It’s the brainchild of Daniele Piomelli, a neurobiology professor who studies marijuana.
He says the institute would research the impact of cannabis on everything from medicine and the environment to business and culture.
Piomelli says he hopes to get state funding through Proposition 64, last year’s measure that approved recreational marijuana use.
