LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) - Gov. Pete Ricketts and others opposed to legalizing medical marijuana in Nebraska held a news conference Wednesday in the Capitol rotunda just ahead of a Unicameral hearing on the matter.

The issue is in front of Nebraska lawmakers for a fifth consecutive year months after losing ballot approval in the 11th hour last fall following a ruling by the Nebraska Supreme Court.

As state leaders consider once more to make medical marijuana legal in the state, the governor said “big pot — big marijuana — is a big industry.”

These big brands are trying to go around the regulatory process and experts say it’s dangerous, he said.

Ricketts also likened the Schedule 1 drug to others in the same category, such as LSD, heroin, and ecstasy.

“So this is a dangerous drug that will impact our kids,” the governor said. “If you legalize marijuana, you’re gonna kill your kids. That’s what the data shows from around the country.”

Rickets do more harm to kids by making them Cubs fans than anything else.
