Nebraska Voters Approved Medical Cannabis. Now Protect the Doctors Who Make It Possible

Nebraska voters spoke when they approved medical cannabis. But a medical program cannot exist without doctors willing to recommend it.

Right now, Nebraska law does not provide basic protections for physicians who choose to recommend cannabis to their patients. That means doctors could risk their licenses or face legal consequences simply for discussing a treatment option with a patient.

LB933 fixes this problem. You can read the bill here.

The bill provides simple, common-sense protections for healthcare practitioners who recommend medical cannabis within the normal standard of care. It does not create immunity or special privileges. Doctors must still follow the same professional standards they do with any other medicine.

Every single medical cannabis state in the country has enacted these protections.

Without them, Nebraska patients may never be able to receive a recommendation — meaning the program voters approved could remain inaccessible to the very people it was meant to help.

👉 Patients need doctors.

👉 Doctors need basic legal protections.

👉 Please take one minute and email your state senator today and ask them to support LB933.

Your voice matters. When patients, families, and supporters speak up, lawmakers listen.

Together we can ensure that Nebraska’s medical cannabis program actually works for the patients who need it.
