When getting signatures, Jensen said each county needs to have its own petition page.

“Being here in Fremont, that’s kind of problematic,” he said. “We’re within two miles from three different counties besides our own, so sometimes, we have to carry four or five different sheets just so we can get people on the right sheets.”

The petition is also available for people to sign at different businesses, including Jensen Technology, Alohma and Chasing Clouds Vape Collective. Interested signers must ask first for the petition, as it is not out in the open, Jensen said.

“Signing this petition doesn’t require you to vote,” he said. “It’s just to get it onto the ballot, and then it can be taken from there, is what we’re trying to do.”

Jensen said he’s confident that the group can get the issue on the Nebraska ballot. Although the signature-collecting is all nearly volunteer work, he said paid petitioners may start at some point.

There’s often a stigma when looking at marijuana recreationally, Jensen said, but the campaign is focused on the medical side.
