flag Nebraska Republicans delay medical marijuana law, defying voters by banning smoking, vaping, and edibles.

flag Nebraska Republicans, led by Governor Jim Pillen, are delaying implementation of a voter-approved medical marijuana law, missing key licensing deadlines and imposing strict rules that contradict the ballot measure. flag The state’s newly appointed Medical Cannabis Commission has banned smoking, vaping, and edibles—uses permitted by voters—and limited the number of growers and dispensaries, while adding costly doctor requirements. flag Critics, including lawmakers and patients, argue these actions undermine democratic will and restrict access to a treatment that helps manage chronic pain and reduce opioid use. flag Similar resistance is seen in other Republican-led states like South Dakota and Mississippi, where voter-backed measures face legal and political challenges despite broad public support.
