144. Crista Eggers on the Long Fight for Medical Cannabis Legalization in Nebraska

In Nebraska, it’s extremely common to be late to the party as far
as pretty much all social trends go--or to miss the party
entirely. But medical uses of marijuana have been legalized in 37
states, and it looks like the movement has a kind of national
momentum that Nebraska will continue to grapple with in the years
to come. We’ve seen proponents of medical marijuana produce
ballot measures and introduce bills at the legislature for nearly
a decade now. The fight isn’t going away. So what is the deal
with medical cannabis? Today Crista Eggers is in conversation
with Tom Knoblauch about being an activist for medical marijuana
here in a state whose officials often oppose and attack the
concept.
