LINCOLN–Nebraska could join 23 states and the District of Columbia in legalizing forms of marijuana use under proposed legislation.
Two bills dealing with the substance have been introduced and are scheduled for hearings on March 6.
LB 390, introduced by Sen. Sue Crawford of Bellevue, would create a pilot project allowing the University of Nebraska Medical Center to conduct medical marijuana research for seizure and intractable epilepsy patients.
LB 643, introduced by Sen. Tommy Garrett of Bellevue, takes medical marijuana use a couple steps further. His bill would allow the use of medical marijuana across Nebraska.
