It’s time to act. Over the past several months, families and patient advocates have been urging state legislators to approve a compassionate medical cannabis law in Nebraska. Now the time has come, and tomorrow, members of the Unicameral will debate and ultimately decide the fate of LB 474, which would legalize medical cannabis for patients with serious health conditions.

Minnesota House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler’s marijuana legalization bill has passed through 12 House committees and is headed to the full House floor! This will be the first time ever that a legalization bill has gotten a House floor vote in Minnesota.

Today, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would legalize medical cannabis in Kansas! The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.

Great news! The Alabama House of Representatives just passed medical cannabis in a 68-34-1 vote. The bill already passed the Senate (20-10), but because it was amended in the House, the two versions need to be reconciled before it can head to Gov. Ivey.

Minnesota is one of only two medical cannabis states that doesn’t allow cannabis in its natural, flower form. This drives up prices for patients and deprives many of the medicine that works best for them. Many end up turning to the unregulated, sometimes dangerous, illicit market.

Exciting news! The House Committee on Federal and State Affairs has approved (12-8) a bill to legalize medical cannabis in the state. The bill is now cleared for a vote on the House floor.

This Thursday night, the Delaware Cannabis Policy Coalition is holding a virtual town hall to respond to concerns around cannabis legalization. Mark your calendars, and we hope you will join us!

Cannabis policy reform is continuing to gain momentum in the Texas Legislature! The House of Representatives approved two bills last week.

We invite you to join us on Tuesday, May 4 at 6:30 p.m. for a virtual discussion on the status of legalization in the 2021 session and a walk-through of the details of SB 888 – Gov. Lamont’s legalization proposal.

We're writing to note a correction and a handful of updates in regard to the Louisiana email sent yesterday. After the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee approved HB 524, it passed another legalization bill — Rep. Candace Newell’s HB 243 — in a 6-5 vote. Both bills are headed to the House floor and could receive a vote as early as next week.
