A Manhattan-based investor is donating $9 million to Harvard and MIT to study the effects of cannabis on the brain. (WBUR)
In the red light of a microscope room, Amanda Vernon, left, reviews an image of cells in a mouse brain with MIT professor Myriam Heiman. The $9 million donation includes about $1 million for work in Heiman's lab.
The money comes from the marijuana industry itself, in a way. The donor, Manhattan-based investor Bob Broderick, made tens of millions of dollars by investing in the legal marijuana industry in Canada, he says. But now, he says, he can offer money"from the cannabis world" that can go back into learning more about cannabis products."And that's going to be good for all of us," he adds."A majority of Americans live in a regulatory environment that has either medical or recreational cannabis."
We don't even really understand how cannabis can help users with their pain and sleep problems, he says.
