New polling finds 70% support for legalizing Medical Cannabis

Posted February 20, 2024 on WJAG

New polling has found that 70% of respondents are ready to legalize medical marijuana in Nebraska.

The Nebraska Examiner reports the poll, conducted for Neilan Strategy Group, mirrors polling done by a group seeking to place the medical cannabis issue on the 2024 ballot.

The Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana said their polling in 2022 showed that 80% of registered voters were in favor of legalization.

Crista Eggers of Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana said Monday that she’s not surprised “whatsoever” by the poll results in that it mirrors what they’ve seen in recent years.

This year marks the third time the medical marijuana group has tried to get the issue before voters, after failing to find favor with the issue in the Nebraska Legislature.
