The reclassification of medical marijuana has been announced in Nebraska, a significant milestone for advocates who have long sought for the right to legally use it for pain, nausea, epilepsy, and mental health. Crista Eggers, executive director of the non-profit Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana, stated that the reclassifying decision was vindication but was nothing to celebrate as a Nebrassian. Despite legislation passed in the state 18 months ago, dispensaries still lack licenses to sell it and those who want it are waiting. Despite many viewing this move as progressive, Eggers argues that the people whose voices were not heard for years are being ignored.
