There is another pitch to make marijuana legal in Wisconsin.
The top Democrat in the Wisconsin Senate, Melissa Agard, on Friday introduced legislation to legalize cannabis for responsible adult use. Agard has been a big supporter of legal marijuana in Wisconsin for years, but has failed to find support at the state capitol. She says with marijuana legal in Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota, it’s time for Wisconsin to fall in line. Agard says 69 percent of people in Wisconsin want to see marijuana legal, including a majority of Republicans in the state. Republican lawmakers have suggested they may be open to a medical marijuana program in Wisconsin, but they are not quite ready to fully legalize pot in the state.
