Real Patients Respond to “LIES” about Medical M*rijuana

Here on The Dan Parsons Show, we’ve followed closely the state’s struggle for safe and legal access to medical cannabis. From petition organizers to state officials, listeners have heard each perspective… except for those at the heart of the issue: the patients. In this episode, Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana Executive Director & fan-favorite guest Crista Eggers starts off with a call to action and a reaction to our last interview with Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers; then we are joined by Ben and Dominic, two Nebraskans who’s lives could be changed by a drug that’s legal is nearly every other state in the nation.

The Ghost Logs of Nebraska’s Governor: A Transparency Crisis

Jun 19, 2026 |

Who is keeping track of the state’s business? In this episode, Dan dives deep into a new investigative report by Andrew Wegley and Flatwater Free Press on Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen’s controversial decision to refuse a state-issued phone. When public officials operate entirely on personal, un-loggable devices, public records laws are pushed to their limits.

We break down the ongoing transparency crisis, the legal loopholes being utilized, and what this means for accountability and the future of journalism in Nebraska.
