“Cannabis legalization is a serious, substantive issue and we should treat it as
such, not as a political game.”

By Wisconsin Sen. Melissa Agard (D)

Today, Wisconsin’s Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced that the sham
medical marijuana bill he claimed would pass is dead. We saw this coming.

Cannabis café bill gets reintroduced
California Assemblymember Matt Haney has reintroduced a bill to create
Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes in the state. Governor Newsom vetoed a similar
bill last year, which would have allowed cannabis dispensaries to sell food and
host live concerts. Assemblymember Haney joined us on 'The Nine' to talk about
how it could reshape the cannabis landscape across California.

This bill was always smoke and mirrors. It would not accomplish what a majority
of Wisconsinites are asking of state legislators: full legalization of cannabis
for adult responsible usage.

Republicans are continuing their track record of ignoring the will of the people
who want to see cannabis legalized. Speaker Vos’s comments today show that he
and his fellow legislative Republicans are unserious about addressing this
issue. How many sessions do we need to witness the same hoax from Republicans
indicating their interest in medical marijuana only to pull the rug out from
those who desperately want this policy to be signed into law?



We now know that this bill won’t even receive a public hearing until possibly
after the legislative session has adjourned, rendering the legislation dead. No
one asked for the most restrictive bill here in our great state, but they have
been asking for comprehensive, adult usage cannabis legalization as an economic
driver, a public safety matter and an increase in regulations for a product that
is readily available in our neighboring states.

My Democratic colleagues and I have been working to highlight legalization
outside of the normal processes by traveling across Wisconsin to meet folks
where they are because the GOP won’t even give the public a chance to speak
about the need for full legalization.



Cannabis legalization is a serious, substantive issue and we should treat it as
such, not as a political game. I will continue advocating tirelessly for full
legalization of cannabis for adult, responsible usage which will help increase
public safety, lift up personal freedoms and provide economic opportunity for
Wisconsinites all across the state.

Melissa Agard is a Democratic senator in Wisconsin and lead Senate sponsor of a
bill to legalize adult-use cannabis.
