More than 150 volunteers will be fanning out across the state Saturday to continue fighting for access to medical cannabis. Supporters are hosting more than 50 petition signing events in over 30 cities and towns on “Shamrock Signing Saturday.”
Nebraskans For Medical Marijuana is leading the effort to place two statutory medical cannabis initiatives on the ballot for voters this November. Supporters need to collect 87,000 verified voter signatures on each petition by July 3. In addition, they are required to qualify 38 counties with signatures from at least 5% of the counties voter population.
“Nebraskans across the state overwhelmingly support medical cannabis access,” says NMM Campaign Manager Crista Eggers. “Most recent polling shows at least 70% approval statewide, including a majority of every demographic group and all political affiliations. We will not stop until every suffering Nebraskan has the option of medical cannabis, and that success will come when people have the chance to vote on this in November.”
