Contact Your Senator Asking Them To Support LB933

Dear [Your Elected Official],

I am reaching out as a constituent, a voter, and someone who still believes our voices should matter.
Over a year and a half ago, Nebraskans made a decision at the ballot box to support medical cannabis
Since then, families have waited. Patients have waited. There are no doctors willing to reccomend this option or even talk about it with their patients. We can have no program without doctors.
LB933 is the only meaningful step that can change this.Without clear, basic protections for healthcare practitioners, physicians are placed in an impossible position. If doctors can’t recommend medical cannabis without fear for their licenses and careers, there is no pathway for patients.
Every other state with a medical cannabis program has enacted similar safeguards because they understood that implementation matters just as much as passing a law.
Nebraskans are simply asking for the program they already approved to be made real.
Supporting LB933 is about honoring the will of voters and making sure their decision leads to something meaningful for patients, thank you for your consideration of this bill.
Thank you.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your City & State]

Hello, my name is XXX and I am wanting my senator to support LB933 because it is such an important part of a medical cannabis program. This bill provides basic, common-sense protections for healthcare practitioners so they can speak openly with patients and make recommendations without fear. These safeguards are standard in every other medical cannabis state and it is vital for Nebraska to do the same. Please do your part to represent me and so many voters and support this bill. Thank you.

Summary

<a href="https://nebraskalegislature.gov/FloorDocs/109/PDF/AM/AM2602.pdf">LB933</a> (click to read bill) was introduced by Senator John Cavanaugh to provide basic protections for health care practioners who choose to reccomend medical cannabis to patients. It says that they cannot be prosecuted for simply making a reccomendation or speaking with their patient about the subject. Why LB933 Is Needed: *This type of protection cannot be done except by the Legislature *The Medical Cannabis Commission is attempting to set up a program, however they have NO authority over healthcare practitioners, and will have no health care practitioners in program *There are currently NO practitioners recommending which means no patients *Health care practitioners in Nebraska have expressed concern and fear over moving forward in recommendations *This fear is valid after comments from AG (May 2025) and because Nebraska was left off federal protections  What LB933 Does: *This is a foundational infrastructure provision that aligns with all other medical cannabis states (933 mirrors the most conservative states language) *Provides a simple protection to health care practitioners who make a recommendation of medical cannabis to a patient *Establishes that a health care practitioner cannot be arrested, prosecuted, penalized, or disciplined solely for giving a written recommendation for medical cannabis, stating that cannabis may provide therapeutic or palliative benefit to a patient, or offering a professional opinion that cannabis could help a patient’s condition. What LB933 Does NOT Do: *Does NOT protect negligent or improper medical care. Providers remain fully accountable for evaluating patients and meeting the professional standard of care *It does NOT protect bad medical practice *Does NOT require practitioners to recommend *Practitioners can still face discipline if they fail to properly evaluate a patient, violate the standard of care, or engage in negligence or misconduct
