The Future of Medicine Access in Nebraska – Crista Eggers, Activist

On November 5, 2024, Nebraskans overwhelmingly voted to legalize medical marijuana in the state. In the ensuing months, legal challenges and opposition from the state’s top elected officials have cast doubt on the future of the voter mandate. In today’s episode, Dan catches up with Crista Eggers—a mother and the campaign manager of the Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana ballot initiative—who has found herself at the center of the struggle for medicinal access.
