Episode Details

Nebraska’s Attorney General Mike Hilgers has cleared the way for the state’s medical cannabis regulations — despite his public opposition — saying they don’t blatantly violate state or federal law. Governor Jim Pillen now has until July 11 to sign them, or temporary rules could lapse. If approved, formal rules will take effect in five days and include strict limits: 1,250 plants per cultivator, 5 ounces monthly per patient, no smoking or edibles, only 12 dispensaries statewide, and mandatory healthcare provider referrals. Meanwhile, the federal government reclassified medical cannabis as Schedule III — a major shift — but Nebraska is challenging that move. The state’s medical cannabis program, approved by voters in 2024, still faces legal uncertainty over its petition process, leaving its future hanging in the balance.
