What changed in the latest version

The bill LB 1 has been updated to correct an error in the language of Nebraska's medical cannabis laws. It clarifies the allowable amount of cannabis that a patient can possess and redefines what is included in the term "cannabis" to ensure consistency with previous laws. This change is important because it helps to prevent confusion among patients and providers about the legal limits and definitions related to medical cannabis use in the state.
