Wisconsin GOP Lawmaker Teases Limited Medical Marijuana Bill for January

Wisconsin's Republican Assembly leader, Robin Vos, plans to introduce a limited medical marijuana bill next month, which he believes will gain support in the GOP-controlled legislature. The bill will only allow patients with serious conditions such as cancer, PTSD, HIV, and chronic pain to access cannabis products in pill and oil form. Vos stated that the bill is being modeled after Minnesota's conservative medical marijuana law. Democrats have expressed hope that the bill will address past harms caused by marijuana criminalization and provide access to those in need. Vos aims to avoid the perception that medical cannabis is a stepping stone to full legalization.
