The group plans to file language in January and will ramp up signature collection for both the medical cannabis measure and adult-use initiative in 2021.
"Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana will file new petition language with Secretary of State Robert Evnen that the committee intends to qualify for the November 2022 ballot in Nebraska."
"Yesterday the Nebraska Supreme Court issued an opinion to remove our Constitutional amendment to provide access to medical marijuana from the ballot, with 5 judges ruling to kick our amendment off and 2 disagreeing and ruling to keep us on."
"The Nebraska Constitution requires petitioners to collect signatures from 10% of registered voters to qualify a constitutional amendment for the ballot. That threshold, as of July 2 when the campaign’s signatures were submitted, was 122,275. The campaign also needed to collect signatures from 5% of registered voters in at least 38 of Nebraska’s 93 counties. The signature drive was successful in meeting that requirement in 48 counties."
"This afternoon, Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana, a 2020 ballot initiative committee, will deliver over 182,000 signatures gathered from all 93 counties in the state in support of their ballot initiative to establish legal protections for medical marijuana patients with serious health conditions."
