Nebraska State Senator Mike Groene (R) introduced a bill recently that ostensibly seeks to legalize medical marijuana in the state—but activists have raised concerns that the restrictive measure may be an attempt to subvert an effort to pass even broader patient protections on the 2022 ballot, reported Marijuana Moment.
Under the new legislation backed by the Nebraska chapter of the prohibitionist group Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), people with stage IV cancer, uncontrolled seizures or severe muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis or muscular dystrophy, or a terminal illness with less than a one-year probable life expectancy would be able to buy cannabis oils, pills and up to two and a half ounces of flower at a limited number of dispensaries.
