LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) – On Monday, the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission will hold its monthly meeting in Lincoln.

At last month’s meeting, the commission approved the creation of a stand-alone website separate from the state liquor control commission’s website.

In December, the group met with two new members after Gov. Pillen appointed Robert “Bud” Synhorst and James Elworth to the commission in mid-November, bringing the total membership to five.

Commissioners have maintained their current regulations despite public criticism. Under the rules, smoking or vaping cannabis is illegal — leaving consumption to only pills and creams.

February’s meeting will start at 1 p.m. Monday.
