LINCOLN- Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana announced that the next petition drive concerning marijuana may include permitting recreational marijuana.

After both medical marijuana petitions fell short of the November ballot, Christa Eggers, who is leading the project, said there will be discussions about pushing both recreational and medical marijuana.

Recreational marijuana would attract bigger donors and more support than just medical marijuana. Eggers noted that donations and support are vital to the success of the initiative.

“There is nothing off the table about how we get this done,” said Eggers, whose son suffers from up to 100 epileptic seizures a day. “I’m a parent, and I will do whatever it takes, and go to the ends of the Earth, to help my child.”

The Nebraska Secretary of State’s Office said Monday that two petitions submitted by Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana failed to collect the necessary, valid signatures of 86,776 voters and fell short of another requirement — gathering at least 5% of registered voters in 38 of the state’s 93 counties for its two petitions.
