The latest push for legal marijuana in Wisconsin is coming from the state’s tribes.
The Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association and the Wisconsin Tribal Task Force on Cannabis yesterday announced plans for a public education push to try and get marijuana legalized in the state. The new Wisconsin Wellness program aims to get medical marijuana legalized in Wisconsin. The Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association’ Rob Pero says marijuana is a “historically and culturally appreciated plant medicine,” and it should be available to the people of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is one of the few remaining states in the Midwest that doesn’t allow for either medical or recreational marijuana.
Some Republicans at the State Capitol have said they are open to a medical marijuana program, but Governor Evers says he’d rather just fully legalize it for everyone.
