3 states vote for recreational marijuana. Not Wisconsin

[AllyCat]

When will Wisconsin do this? Why can we not get the Dems to run in this in Wisconsin? We would gain seats in the Legislature.

1. WI is still a corruptly gop lead state......

The supreme court for one. And the state house.

I doubt you can get a bill even up for vote until that changes.

3. WI is severly #gerrymandered. That says it all.

5. Right, but what if the candidates RUN on that platform?

I think a lot of GOP folks would switch for that.

2. Well, you're always welcome in Michigan! Is there any way Wisconsin citizens can put

ungerrymandering & voting rights props on the next ballot? We did that in 2018.

4. We have in local races.

City-by-city it is working. Just our state is so stupidly backwards.

6. Two words: Tavern League

They don't want the competition.

7. The reason WI does not have weed legalization as an initiative......

is because the Republican led legislature and Assembly still believes that “blood letting” is a faster and more effective way to get cheap thrills.

8. No kidding

9. Illinois welcomes pot tourists. Bring your money to us.

10. Well, I have to. My mom needs medical marijuana for anxiety/dementia/ sun downing

Fortunately, she lives in IL, not WI. But that doesn’t help the people in my state.

11. The extra tax money will get it legalized

The GOP's dismal handling of CoVid in Wisconsin has resulted in a huge loss of normally expected tax revenue.

Guess what is the easiest way to generate alot of tax dollars in 2021. Especially in a major agricultural state.

Oh I don't know...maybe a highly popular plant?

12. Yes! We NEED the money!!!
