Nebraska voters have made their state the 39th to legalize medical marijuana through the passage of two companion initiatives.
Nebraska voters have approved both the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Patient Protection Act (Initiative 437) and the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Regulation Act (Initiative 438) with overwhelming support.
The Nebraska Medical Cannabis Patient Protection Act provides legal safeguards for patients, allowing them to possess up to five ounces of marijuana for medical use. The measure also provides legal protections for healthcare providers who recommend medical marijuana.
The Nebraska Medical Cannabis Regulation Act will establish the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission to oversee a legal medical marijuana industry, including a licensed and regulated system of dispensaries that can provide patients with marijuana and a variety of marijuana products including concentrates and edibles.
