Nebraska A restrictive medical cannabis bill met its demise in the Nebraska Legislature after state lawmakers failed to overcome a filibuster. The bill, sponsored by Nebraska Sen. Anna Wishart, would have legalized MMJ only for patients with 17 medical conditions and would have prevented home cannabis cultivation by patients. Wishart framed the bill as a " last chance " for state legislators to approve regulation of medical marijuana before the issue returns to voters in a ballot measure expected next year. Nebraska remains one of only a few U.S. jurisdictions where cannabis is still completely illegal for any purpose. A 2020 ballot measure to legalize medical marijuana in Nebraska failed last September after the state Supreme Court ruled the bill was unconstitutional. Nevada A bill allowing marijuana consumption lounges was among a flurry of last-minute measures approved by Nevada lawmakers before they adjourned for the year. The bill will allow Nevada regulators to offer two new types of marijuana business licenses related to consumption lounges: * One for retailers that want to open consumption lounges on the same property as their retail shops. * One for stand-alone lounges that will be limited to single-use products, in the same manner as bars that sell alcohol.
