LINCOLN, NE – Governor Jim Pillen has approved the adoption of newly drafted emergency regulations submitted by the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission. He signed the regulations on Sept. 9.
Monday, the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission held an emergency meeting to set limits on the number of plants cultivators may grow. The Commission’s recommendation was that no more than 1,250 flowering plants be possessed by each cultivator.
The Governor had asked the Commission to consider such a limitation to ensure that an excess of cannabis production would not lead to an unregulated and unintended black-market supply.
