"Campaigns to legalize recreational marijuana in Montana and medical cannabis in Nebraska are back in action after temporary suspensions due to the coronavirus pandemic."

We are following the guidelines of public health entities and are hopeful that next month we will be able to be back out collecting signatures with recommended health safety measures in place.

“There’s compelling evidence that medical cannabis can be effective in controlling and reducing the frequency of seizures,” said Kristi Berst, executive director of Epilepsy Foundation Nebraska. “When other treatments don’t work, patients and doctors should have the option to try medical cannabis. We believe this initiative will help provide relief to many families in Nebraska, and that’s why we’re wholeheartedly supporting it.”

“We are so thankful to the hundreds of Nebraska volunteers and advocates across our state, who have tirelessly committed their time and energy to collect signatures for this campaign,” Sen. Wishart said. “Without their support, we would not be able to expand our efforts to an additional paid drive and ensure this measure crosses the finish line.”

In response to misleading and dishonest fear tactics from opponents like Gov. Ricketts, the campaign is urging people to raise their voices about why Nebraska needs a compassionate medical marijuana law.
