LINCOLN — A Bellevue family could have one more hope of controlling their son's debilitating seizures under a bill introduced in the Nebraska Legislature on Wednesday.

The proposed “Will's Law” would allow a very limited exception to the state law banning the use of marijuana.

It would allow people with uncontrolled seizures or muscle spasms to use hemp oil extract, also called cannibidiol oil or CBD oil, in the state. Only oil that is very low in THC, the compound that produces the marijuana high, would be permitted in Nebraska.

Legislative Bill 1102 was introduced by State Sen. Sue Crawford of Bellevue, with four co-sponsors including Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha.

That is my State Senator I worked to elect. I'm very proud of State Sen. Sue Crawford.

1. That is wonderful. As the parent of a child who has never had her seizures under control I support

this bill. My daughter is now 55 years old and we have had a miracle of sorts but do not understand what is happening. She is now after a lifetime of 6-10 seizures a month is now having only two. Anything that can be done should be to help our children have a normal life.

2. Excellent news for this boy.

At as macro level, this is the state essentially acknowledging that Marijuana does have medical uses.
This demonstrates the ridiculous classification of Marijuana as a schedule 1 drug.
