We urge lawmakers to reject proposed legislation The program was created because the state claimed that the regulation of the medical marijuana industry would “supercharge” the black market, fuel reforms for adult use cannabis, and make Nebraska “less safe and more dangerous”.
I have nominated two well-qualified, experienced individuals to serve on the Medical Cannabis Commission. They will make sure that this industry is regulated according to the laws the Nebraskans enacted. I urge the Legislature to promptly confirm them so they can take up the urgent work of writing strong and effective ‘rules of the road’ for the medical cannabis industry.” — Pillen in a press release
Pillen said that the MCC, with the support of the PRO, DAS and other agencies as needed, is fully able to fulfill its obligations under the Patient Protection Act, Regulation Act, to reach its milestones on July 1, and October 1. He said that the MCC had already received operational funding, and due to DAS’s financial authority under the law it will be able to function effectively.
