In Nebraska, will the 3rd time be the charm for medical cannabis?
Medical cannabis activists in Nebraska have officially launched their third petition drive, aiming to collect enough signatures to put the legalization of medical cannabis before voters on the general election vote in November 2024.
The Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana will be collecting signatures for two bills:
- The Medical Cannabis Regulation Act, which would create the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission to regulate medical cannabis businesses in the state
- The Patient Protection Act (Patient Protection Act) that would ensure that consumers and their caregivers do not suffer legal consequences when using medical cannabis recommended by a healthcare provider
Both petitions require 87,000 valid signatures from registered voters.
Signatures must come from at least 5% of registered voters representing at least 38 of Nebraska's 93 counties. Visit group failed to achieve this by 2022.
On his first attempt, Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana collected enough signatures to put the question to the voters on the 2020 ballot, but the State Supreme Court ruled that the measure was unconstitutional.
Campaign manager Crista Eggers said the group would keep trying.
«There was never any question that we wouldn't come back a third time,» Crista Eggers said in a statement. «This is not an issue we can give up on; it's people's lives we're fighting for.»
