If you live in Wisconsin, let your state lawmakers know it's time for humane marijuana policies.
Wisconsin is rapidly becoming an island of backwards marijuana laws.
Minnesota and Illinois have both decriminalized marijuana and legalized medical cannabis. Meanwhile, in November, Michigan voters made their state the first in the Midwest to legalize marijuana for adults.
Gov. Tony Evers (D) has a bold vision to improve Wisconsin's marijuana laws. His budget, which will be released in late February, will propose decriminalization and expungement, along with a comprehensive medical cannabis program.
But Gov. Evers can't fix Wisconsin's outdated marijuana laws on his own. His proposal would have to pass the legislature, where Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R) is opposed. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R) has said he is "open to medical marijuana when it is prescribed by a doctor," but that Evers' proposal goes too far.
That's where you come in: Write your assemblymember and senator to ask them to support Evers' proposal and to push for it to get a vote.
Then, share this message with friends and family so that they, too, can speak up for commonsense cannabis policies.
