Annette, thats a complicated question to say the least. A lot has been stated and shared on both sides about this issue. Here's a link with some information about our original ballot initiative, Prop 215, which was voted on and passed back in 1996. There's a lot of issues to think about including regulating the industry, enforcement, how to tax it, etc. On the medical side theres a lot of information about how it has helped many people, but the science of it all has come a long way since CA first passed the initiative.

I hope this helps. Also, the National Council has a new Director for State Policy and Advocacy, Frankie Berger. He may be able to help as well.

There is currently a move to get approval for medical marijuana on the Nebraska ballot. Our association has not taken a formal position on this issue but I am having some contact from people asking my/our thoughts or position. For those of you who have passed Medical Marijuana laws in your state can you give me the pros and cons?
Thanks!
