LB 643 - Legalizing Medical Marijuana

Legalizing medicinal marijuana has been proposed as a bill in the Nebraska legislature. Medicinal marijuana is a hot topic in the U.S. currently, considering that 23 states have already legalized it, which is why I thought GYAC should take a stance! The bill would allow nonprofit organizations to grow and sell the plant to people who obtain a state card from a physician. The bill would also allow card holders to grow up to 12 marijuana plants themselves to be used for medical use. Medicinal marijuana has been used around the world for hundreds of years. Only in recent history has it gotten a bad rap because of its circulation in the illegal drug circuit. There are side effects to the use of this drug, but like any other drug, the benefits must be weighed with the risks.


Hope you guys find the topic as interesting as I do! I look forward to hearing your opinion.
