MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A bill allowing medical marijuana in Wisconsin will soon be ready for a vote in the state Assembly.
That’s according to Speaker Robin Vos.
“We have a bill that we’ll introduce in January on medical marijuana,” said Vos. “Our caucus has spent a lot of time reaching a consensus among itself to make sure that we knew we had 50 Republican votes to be able to pass it. Because unfortunately my Democratic colleagues have said if we don’t go full recreational marijuana they’re not interested.”
There’s also Republican support for medical marijuana in the state Senate.
Democratic Governor Tony Evers has also called for full legalization of cannabis. Vos said that will never happen as long as Republicans are in charge.
