Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana are continuing their push to get both their petitions on the November 2024 ballot.
One petition allows the recommendation for medical cannabis treatment from a doctor. The other is how a qualified patient would access their medicine.
Volunteer Molly Scott was gathering signatures for the group on Saturday.
“Patients that need cannabis for seizure disorders or pain or whatever their condition is, they deserve to have the right to have safe, regulated, clean cannabis,” Scott said.
John Kuehn with Smart Approaches to Marijuana Nebraska wrote in a statement to KETV Newswatch7: “There is no such thing as ‘medical’ marijuana – only the same high potency drug that is abused recreationally. It is not prescribed by a physician or dispensed by a pharmacist.”
The group needs 87,000 signatures on each petition before moving forward. Right now they have 30,000 per. The signature deadline is July of 2024.
