Question: “What is the status of the medical marijuana bills?”
Gov. Tony Evers has consistently included proposals to legalize marijuana for both recreational and medical purposes in all three of his budget plans. However, each time, some lawmakers have made cuts to these provisions during the budget writing process. This ongoing pattern underscores the challenges and debates surrounding the issue of marijuana legalization in our state.
Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Wisconsinites show strong support for the legalization of marijuana, as highlighted by a recent October 2022 poll conducted by Marquette University Law School.
This significant statistic underscores the shifting attitudes towards cannabis in the state, fostering a growing conversation surrounding its potential benefits and the need for updated legislation.
Evers frequently highlights this strong public support as proof that Wisconsin residents would back his proposal to legalize marijuana and apply taxes to it, mirroring the state’s approach to alcohol.
