MIXED REVIEWS FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA BILL
Opponents of a bill that would allow marijuana use for medical
purposes in Wisconsin say there's not enough evidence the change is
needed in the state.
Introduced by state Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison, and Sen. Jon
Erpenbach, D-Middleton, the proposed Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana
Act would give patients with various chronic conditions the option to
get a prescription for the drug from their doctors.
However, the issue, which previously failed to gain traction when
Democratic lawmakers introduced the bill a few years ago, is not a
topic of discussion at the Capitol, said state Rep. Scott Krug,
R-Wisconsin Rapids, who does not support the legislation.
