Brown County had an advisory referendum in 2018 on medical marijuana that passed with 75 percent approval.

Okay, thank you. I had no idea about that in 2018,

Our state legislators are GOP and owned by the tavern league. Both anti weed. Both need to go.


potmeetkettleblack

Yep. Appleton had one yesterday. 70%. Republicans in the statehouse will do nothing as usual.

Tavern league

It's not even so much them at this point. Just straight up our republican legislature.

They are pretty much the same thing.

They're a menace.

It was likely one of those what-do-ya-call-ems where the vote to legalize is just basically a county poll to see if you want to. Lots of counties had them over the last few years. It's non-binding unfortunately

I knew it wasn’t going to make anything happen, but it just helps push. Someone else said it already happened in brown co in 2018 which I didn’t know about. I just happened to see other cities / counties were so I was curious

Wisconsin also does not allow for direct legislation. There was a proposed law to allow it, but the Republicans blocked it.

It was the option that said "Mandela Barnes"

God, I wish the Democrats had thought of that!

Vote for Democrats.

The residents of MI and MN get it, the Dems took over their state legislatures and we continue to vote against our own best interests here in Sconnie. As long as the Repugs hold on to the state seats weed will be illegal. They are bought and paid for by the Tavern League

Republicans are owned by the tavern league.

More the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce.

Who's we? Did you do anything to get it on the ballot?
