Nebraska: marijuana laws
Whether marijuana is legal in your state for recreational use, medical use only, low-THC products only, or not at all.
| Legal status | Medical only |
|---|---|
| What it means | A state medical program allows use by registered patients with qualifying conditions; recreational use remains illegal. Voters approved medical use in 2024; the program's rollout has faced legal challenges. |
Marijuana remains illegal under federal law, although in April 2026 the federal government moved some state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III. Driving while impaired is illegal everywhere, and employers may still test and discipline.
