Cannabis dispensaries are illegal in Nebraska. The state has not legalized marijuana for recreational or medical use, so no dispensary zoning regulations exist. All marijuana sales remain criminal offenses under Nebraska law.
Because Nebraska has not enacted any form of legal marijuana program, there are no dispensary zoning provisions in Omaha's zoning code (OMC Title 55). Any establishment selling marijuana would be operating illegally. Nebraska's neighboring states (Colorado, Iowa) have varying levels of legalization, but Nebraska law applies within Omaha city limits regardless of neighboring state policies.
Operating a marijuana dispensary is a felony under Nebraska law. Distribution of marijuana carries penalties of up to 20 years imprisonment and substantial fines depending on quantity.
