WOWT : reported that Nebraska lawmakers consider allowing medical marijuana

Several Nebraska lawmakers say the state Legislature should approve a bill that would let them regulate medical marijuana before voters legalize the substance. Opponents of the measure say scientists, not lawmakers, should approve drugs. Twenty-nine states already allow marijuana for medical purposes. A petition now circulating in the state would amend Nebraska's constitution to give residents the use, buy and sell marijuana and prohibit any laws restricting it. Senators began debate on the measure Wednesday but are unlikely to vote unless supporters prove they have at least 33 votes to end a filibuster.

Debate over medical marijuana in Nebraska continues

(KMTV) - The debate over medical marijuana takes center stage again in the Unicameral Wednesday. The bill's sponsor said she crafted the bill to only include oil, pill or vapor forms of marijuana. The proposal would not legalize marijuana for recreation use, but some still worry about its impact on drug use. Nebraska lawmakers discussed the latest bill that would let doctors prescribe cannabis oil for those dealing with chronic pain or debilitating diseases. Opponents used filibusters to block a similar measure last year.
