New Jersey’s Rowan University has launched an Institute for Cannabis Research, Policy, and Workforce Development which is designed to assist and advise lawmakers, healthcare professionals, businesses, government agencies, and pharmaceutical companies on cannabis and cannabis policy.
The institute includes the Center for Cannabinoid Science & Therapeutics; Social-Behavioral, Security & Law Enforcement Cannabis Center; and Center for Cannabis Workforce Development.
The programs include undergraduate and graduate degree programs in cannabinoid chemistry with additional courses under development.
Tabbetha Dobbins, interim vice president for research at Rowan, said in a statement that “interdisciplinary collaboration is critically needed to help understand how these new cannabis laws will affect New Jersey.”
