Wisconsin GOP Introduces Highly Restrictive Medical Marijuana Bill

Bill allows only non-smokable forms for specific conditions, with distribution limited to five state-run dispensaries.

Wisconsin's Republican legislators have introduced a bill to legalize medical marijuana, but only in non-smokable forms such as oils, gummies, tinctures, and creams.
The proposed bill is highly restrictive, allowing only patients with specific conditions like cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, severe muscle spasms, and terminal illnesses to access medical marijuana.
Medical marijuana would be available only through five state-run dispensaries, a number that could potentially increase.
The bill comes after Democratic Governor Tony Evers voiced support for the legalization of medical marijuana, although he has previously expressed a preference for a more comprehensive approach.
The bill's prospects in the Senate remain uncertain, and it must pass both legislative chambers and receive Governor Evers' signature to become law.
