A group that believes in the medicinal value of marijuana is looking for support from the Nebraska pharmacy licensing board.
The group is named Helping End Marijuana Prohibition. It wants the pharmacy board to recommend that the Nebraska Legislature clear the way for medical marijuana.
Advocates say marijuana has many medical uses, including pain relief.
Critics say, among other things, that other medications are available that eliminate any need for medical marijuana.
State Sen. Brad Ashford is chairman of the Legislature's Judiciary Committee, where any medical-marijuana bill likely would be heard. He told the Lincoln Journal Star that drugs "have created such a huge crisis, I can't even imagine" someone introducing a bill to legalize marijuana use."
