LINCOLN- The medical marijuana initiative group in Nebraska wasted no time in submitting new petition language to Secretary of State Bob Evnen. The co-chairs of the group are Sen. Anna Wishart and Sen. Adam Morfeld.

The petition simply states, “Persons in the State of Nebraska shall have the right to cannabis in all its forms for medical purposes.”

33 other states have made medical marijuana accessible and over 190,000 Nebraskans signed the petition to make that possible in the state. Wishart says a bill will be brought to the Legislature on this issue in January and will be introduced on the ballot in 2022. The Nebraska Supreme Court removed the initiative from the ballot after stating that the petition did not meet the single-subject requirement. If the Legislature passes the introduced bill in 2021, a popular vote will not be necessary.
