Special guest Crista Egger updates us from the frontline! Crista Eggers is deeply committed to the advocacy and advancement of medical cannabis legalization in Nebraska. Crista's passion for advocacy began when her youngest son, Colton, was diagnosed with intractable epilepsy just after he turned two. After exhausting all medications and available treatment options for Colton, his doctors mentioned medical cannabis treatment. With a proven track record of driving significant legislative change, Crista Eggers successfully spearheaded statewide ballot initiatives in 2022 and 2024, culminating in a landmark victory for voter-approved legalization in November 2024. As the executive director of NMM, she is dedicated to fostering education, discussion, and collaboration among patients, lawmakers, and industry experts to promote the responsible implementation of medical cannabis within Nebraska.
