Wisconsin Governor Open to GOP's Limited Medical Marijuana Proposal

Despite his advocacy for full legalization, Evers signals willingness to support a more incremental approach to cannabis policy reform.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, a long-time advocate for full marijuana legalization, has expressed willingness to support a Republican proposal for limited medical marijuana legalization.
The Republican proposal, which has been crafted in private sessions over several years, is expected to be unveiled soon and is modeled after the medical marijuana program previously implemented in Minnesota.
Governor Evers has not yet seen the specifics of the Republican proposal, but has indicated he would support it as long as it does not contain any 'poison pills' or extreme provisions.
Wisconsin remains one of the few states where marijuana is not legalized in any form, despite growing public support and legalization movements in neighboring states.
Polls conducted by Marquette University Law School consistently show strong support among Wisconsin residents for legalizing marijuana.
