LINCOLN- Although signatures must be reviewed and verified, supporters of legalizing medical marijuana in Nebraska say they have enough "raw" signatures on their two petitions to qualify for the November ballot.

In the last six weeks, State Sen. Anna Wishart said the drive has gone from 40,000 to the 87,000 signatures needed to get the issue on the November ballot.

Campaign manager Crista Eggers is still urging people to find and sign a petition by July 7th to help solidify the spot on the ballot.

“We have 30 hours to get this done. From now until noon tomorrow, Thursday, July 7, we need everyone to go and find a petition to sign,” said Crista Eggers.

The group has multiple petitions circulating at the moment. One petition protects the possession, distribution, and delivery of marijuana for medical purposes. The other petition ensures that patients and caregivers are not arrested for using medical cannabis.
