Comments

When speaking about the MORE Act of 2020 Rep. Bacon tweeted, "This bill was not a states' rights bill on marijuana. It mandated legalization & will use taxpayer money to support the marijuana industry. I want Nebraskans to make this choice for Nebraska & tax payers shouldn’t have to subsidize any marijuana business." (12/04/20)

And on the question of medical marijuana, Bacon said he doesn't personally support legalization but believes states should make the decision.
