Nebraska Commission Approves Emergency Medical Cannabis Regulations
- On June 26 in Lincoln, the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission finalized temporary rules for medical cannabis to comply with the mandated July 1 deadline.
- These emergency rules resulted from the 2022 ballot initiative signed by Gov. Pillen, who emphasized state law does not alter federal marijuana laws.
- The regulations limit dispensaries to one per judicial district, ban edibles and smoking, prohibit vertical integration, and require majority Nebraska residency for licensees.
- Commissioner Bruce Bailey said the website creation costs $70,000, and Assistant AG Swanson expressed sympathy, acknowledging the commission’s difficult position.
- The commission will accept public feedback until July 15 to refine the rules, but advocates warn strict limits may reduce access and push patients to the black market.
