LINCOLN, Neb. - On Tuesday, a lawsuit was filed challenging the medical cannabis laws that Nebraska voters overwhelmingly passed on November 5th, 2024.
Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana (NMM) Campaign Manager Crista Eggers released the following statement:
“48 other states in our Nation have passed laws legalizing some form of cannabis or its derivatives. With 70% support at the polls, Nebraska voters made it overwhelmingly clear that they support safe and regulated medical cannabis access. The assertion that Nebraska’s new medical cannabis laws violate the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. The Constitution disregards decades of state-led independence and innovation. Under the 10th Amendment of the Constitution, states have the right to address the unique needs of their citizens without undue interference.
The campaign remains committed to defending Nebraska’s medical cannabis laws to ensure patients and families have access to the care they deserve.”
