LINCOLN, Neb. — Possession of a pot brownie will result in a fine in most of Nebraska, but in some western counties it could land you in jail.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that some counties near Colorado are treating marijuana extracts used in food as a Schedule I drug.
Possession of that drug is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. In most parts of the state, simple possession of a pot brownie carries a $300 fine for the first offense, with no jail time.
Deuel County Sheriff Adam Hayworth says he and others are deferring to a prosecutor’s opinion.
Sen. Al Davis of Hyannis says he plans to introduce a bill next month that would require law enforcement to treat marijuana edibles the same as regular pot.
