Marijuana is the most prevalent illicit drug in Nebraska. Domestic production of both outdoor and hydroponic indoor grows have been steady with many seizures netting upwards of 500 plants. Marijuana produced outside of Nebraska and transported into the state is controlled by Mexican drug trafficking organizations at the wholesale level. At the retail level, independent dealers, outlaw motorcycle gangs, street gangs, Native Americans, and Mexican groups share equally in the retail market. Marijuana Legalization: Legislative Bill 273 was passed during the first session of the 97th legislature (2000) which provides guidance for the legal production of industrial hemp (cannabis sativa) having no more than 3/10ths of one percent tetrahydrocannabinol. This is the only legislation introduced regarding legalization of marijuana in the state of Nebraska in recent years.
