How Emergency Regulations Have Put Nebraska’s Medical Cannabis Industry ‘In Limbo’
“We can’t figure out what to do about submitting applications”
In the month since the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission created emergency regulations for the state’s fledgling medicinal program, potential industry participants said they have reviewed the rules and identified provisions they support and provisions that they said need work.
What they haven’t seen is anything that looks like an application, leaving them — as Ogallala hemp farmer Dustin Krajewski put it — “in limbo” despite 71% of voters legalizing medical cannabis last year.
“We can’t figure out what to do about submitting applications or how do we help move the industry forward. And so it’s just really confusing,” Krajewski said.
The Medical Cannabis Commission meets Monday afternoon in Lincoln, and Krajewski hopes things are clearer after. At the commission’s meeting in late June, commissioner Bruce Bailey said he and other members only had those regulations for about 12 hours prior to voting on them. But they had to approve something to comply with state law. Bailey said the regulations allow for applicants to prepare materials and make sure they’re in line with the rules.
