Nebraska’s Medical Cannabis Commission on Monday approved licensed medical marijuana cultivators to get their products inspected. It is a necessary procedural step for cultivators to begin offering their product in Nebraska. Advocates for a statewide medical marijuana program see this as a small step in the right direction, but are nonetheless frustrated by what they see as continual delays.
“These are things that should have been done eons ago,” said Crista Eggers, executive director of Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana. Eggers added that before cultivators can begin to sell in Nebraska, the commission must first regulate licensing, fees, transportation and manufacturers. She said it is her understanding that Attorney General Mike Hilgers has had the draft rules on his desk since the last meeting and questioned why nothing has moved.
“That is the final step that has to happen for this program to move forward,” she said.
At its previous meeting, the Medical Cannabis Commission sent draft regulations to Hilgers for approval. Those regulations include restrictions on parts of a marijuana plant that may be used, THC limits and licensures for doctors prescribing the drug as a treatment.
