Adopt the Cannabis Control Act and the Cannabis Conviction Clean Slate Act

This bill proposes to legalize cannabis in Nebraska by establishing the Cannabis Control Act and creating a system for issuing licenses to cultivators, stores, and manufacturers. It removes cannabis from the list of controlled substances while setting specific rules for how the plant can be grown, sold, and consumed, including a ban on possessing open containers in vehicles. The legislation also includes a "Clean Slate" provision to expunge past cannabis-related criminal convictions and allocates tax revenue generated from sales to specific state funds. Additionally, the bill outlines definitions for various cannabis terms and adjusts penalties for related offenses, such as those involving synthetic cannabinoids and drug paraphernalia.
