Wisconsin Republicans unveil medical marijuana bill after Evers voices support (apnews.com)

Wisconsin Republicans on Monday unveiled a highly restricted plan to legalize medical marijuana in the state, a proposal years in the making that comes less than a week after Democratic Gov. Tony Evers voiced support for the idea.

The bill would limit medical marijuana only to severely ill people with chronic diseases such as cancer and allow for it to be dispensed at only five state-run locations. Smokeable marijuana would not be allowed.

The measure is far from the full legalization that Evers and Democrats have pushed unsuccessfully to pass for years. Still, Evers said last week that he supports creating a medical marijuana program if that’s all that can be done now.

That's not the issue here. In Wisconsin, it's about keeping alcoholics on an the sauce and money in politician's reelection funds.. WI Tavern League lobbying money funnel

The Tavern League is such an innocuous name for a group that evil.
