A former state senator and ex-member of the Nebraska State Board of Health, John Kuehn, has filed a legal challenge aimed at blocking two medical cannabis ballot petitions from appearing on the upcoming November 5 ballot.
As Business of Cannabis reported earlier this month, Nebraska is set to vote on two cannabis initiatives during the November presidential elections after each passed the threshold of signatures needed to place them on the ballot.
Among these are the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Patient Initiative, and the Nebraska Medical Regulation Initiative.
