Two Democratic state lawmakers have reintroduced legislation that would legalize medical marijuana in Wisconsin.
Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison, and Sen. Jon Erpenbach, D-Middleton, are sponsoring two proposals aimed at legalizing cannabis for medical use. The first, the Compassionate Cannabis Care Act, would legalize medical marijuana in the state. The second bill would authorize a statewide advisory referendum allowing citizens to weigh in on whether they support medical legalization.
"The people of the state know we must legalize medical marijuana," Taylor said at a press conference Monday in the Capitol.
