Wisconsin Governor Evers Signals Readiness to Sign GOP's Limited Medical Marijuana Bill Without 'Poison Pills'

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers expressed willingness to sign a GOP-led restrictive medical marijuana bill, provided it doesn't include any "poison pills." While he supports comprehensive adult-use legalization, he's open to the incremental step of medical cannabis legislation. GOP leaders, particularly Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, are against discussing adult-use legalization but have reached a consensus on a medical marijuana bill, which is yet to be unveiled. The bill is expected to allow access to cannabis in pill and oil form for patients with serious conditions. Evers' support is contingent on the bill's contents, as he remains cautious about potential undesirable provisions.
