Wisconsin Republicans to Introduce Medical Marijuana Bill

The proposal, set for January 2024, is modeled after Minnesota's previous law and does not include widespread dispensaries.

Wisconsin Republicans, led by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, are preparing to introduce a bill to legalize medical marijuana in the state in January 2024.
The proposed bill is said to be modeled after Minnesota's previous medical marijuana law and will not allow for widespread dispensaries.
Despite public support and neighboring states legalizing recreational cannabis, Wisconsin's current efforts are focused primarily on medical use.
Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu has indicated that a medical marijuana bill could pass this legislative session, provided it includes regulations for those in serious pain.
Wisconsin remains an outlier nationally, with 38 states having legalized medical marijuana and 24 states having legalized recreational marijuana.
