BREAKING: Nebraska’s Medical Cannabis Program “SABOTAGED’?

BREAKING: Governor Jim Pillen signed off Thursday on harsh new medical cannabis restrictions. Fan favorite Crista Eggers—executive director of Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana—returns to The Dan Parsons Show to rip into the governor’s plant caps, limited licenses, and what she calls a deliberate attempt to “suffocate the program on purpose.” We dig into what this means for patients, how the state keeps ignoring 70% of voters, and why the Omaha Tribe’s legalization effort might be Nebraska’s only real path forward.
