Cannabis use, whether medical or recreational, is illegal in Nebraska. Nebraska did, however, partially decriminalize cannabis in 1979. This means that some jurisdictions enforce cannabis laws quite harshly, while others may be more tolerant.
Nebraska and Oklahoma filed an original action against the state of Colorado for legalizing cannabis in 2013 and 2014, arguing that it caused an increase in the cannabis trade in their states. In March 2016, the Court denied Nebraska’s and Oklahoma’s request to proceed with its suit.
Qualifying Conditions
Most programs have a list of qualifying conditions required for becoming a medical marijuana patient. We expect that future laws in Nebraska will include a list of qualifying conditions to be eligible for medical cannabis or CBD.
Legal Topics
Possession and cultivation of cannabis is illegal in Nebraska.
Growing cannabis falls under the sales and manufacture part of state law, which can result in one to 20 years of imprisonment and a fine of up to $25,000. The actual punishment will depend on the amount cultivated.
Caregivers
Under most states’ medical cannabis laws, a caregiver can be assigned to assist with the purchase and administering of medical cannabis to minor patients or patients who otherwise may need assistance from others.
Most states have a minimum caregiver age requirement (typically 18 or 21). In many states, the caregiver must also have no criminal convictions relating to drug offenses or violent crimes.
