内布拉斯加州医用大麻委员会批准首批两份种植许可 另两份申请被拒
林肯——内布拉斯加州医用大麻委员会10月20日（周二）在会议上批准了该州首批两份医用大麻种植许可：Omaha 的「中西部种植集团」（Midwest Cultivators Group）的 Nancy Laughlin-Wagner 与 Raymond 的 Patrick Thomas 将各获得一份许可邀约，可种植最多1,250株开花期大麻用于医疗用途。
本轮共有四份申请被随机抽中，由包括委员会三名委员（主席 Monica Oldenburg、Lorelle Mueting、J. Michael Coffey）在内的评审组独立打分，平均分达到70分方可通过；Laughlin-Wagner 与 Thomas 达标，另两份被拒，其中包括「内布拉斯加医用大麻倡导组织」（Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana）执行主任 Crista Eggers 的申请。Eggers 是唯一在会上发言的申请者，她表示乐见许可流程推进，但希望委员会公开评分标准与矩阵，让所有申请人清楚得分依据。
被拒者可在10月23日前提出申诉；申诉处理完毕后，委员会将评审下一批随机抽中的两份申请。按上月签署的修订版紧急规章，全州最多发放四份种植许可。
Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission Approves First Two Cultivator Licenses, Denies Two Others
Lincoln — The Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission approved the state's first two medical cannabis cultivator license applications at its meeting on Tuesday, October 20. Nancy Laughlin-Wagner, on behalf of Midwest Cultivators Group in Omaha, and Patrick Thomas of Raymond will each receive an offer of licensure to grow up to 1,250 flowering marijuana plants for medical purposes.
Theirs were among four applications randomly selected to be scored by the commission's evaluation team, which includes all three commissioners — Chair Monica Oldenburg, Lorelle Mueting and J. Michael Coffey. Each application was scored independently, with an average score of 70 or higher needed for approval. The other two applications fell below the threshold, including one submitted by Crista Eggers, executive director of Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana. Eggers, the only applicant who spoke at the meeting, said she was grateful the licensing process was moving forward but wants the scoring matrix made public so applicants know how they were judged.
Denied applicants had until October 23 to file an appeal. Once appeals are resolved, the commission will evaluate the next two randomly selected applications. A maximum of four cultivator licenses are allowed statewide under the amended emergency regulations signed last month.
