URGENT ACTION NEEDED!

Attention District 25 - Senator Bosn

On Tuesday, LB 677 with AM 1251 will be debated by the full Legislature. This bill creates a regulatory framework that will allow for medical cannabis patients in our state to have access to legal and safe medicine. While Legislation is not required as our initiatives were self-enacting, as of today, there is currently NO legal way for a patient to obtain cannabis for medical use without this bill. Patients are still being forced to be criminals in order to access their medicine. Last week, the Nebraska Examiner did a story that sheds light on why Legislation is necessary.

The Legislature needs 33 votes to pass this bill, and we need ALL HANDS ON DECK to help garner this support.

We are asking for all supporters to email your senator today, asking them to support Senator Hansen’s LB677 with AM1221. Medical cannabis as supported by 71 % of voters, and lawmakers need to be asked to represent their constituents and pass this bill through.

Emails sharing stories and written in your own words are the most helpful, however here are some points:

  • 69.40% of your constituents voted in support

  • We need regulations to ensure medical patients have safe access to their medicine

  • “Doing nothing” not only hurts patients who have no legal access, but also sets up an uncertain scenario for Nebraska

  • Lawsuits that continue to be filed against this issue are using taxpayer dollars to attempt to shut down the will of the people. Every single challenge up to this point has been lost.

  • For over a decade patients in this state have been working to have safe & legal access, and now the people have spoken- and they know what they voted for!
