Medical Cannabis Vigil expected at Gov. Walker SOTS Address

Gary Storck of Madison NORML Facebook Group shared an event “Medical cannabis Vigil at Gov. Scott Walker’s State of the State Address“.

On Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012 at 7 pm, WI Governor Scott Walker will be delivering his second “State of the State” Address in the State Capitol’s Assembly Chambers to the full legislature, most ranking state government officials and the press.

Beginning at 5:30 pm, medical cannabis patients, cannabis activists and other like minded people and supporters will once again be holding a vigil outside the Assembly Chambers to demonstrate majority support for the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act (JRMMA) and cannabis law reform in Wisconsin. This vigil has been an annual event dating back to the 1990s with the late Ben Masel. Cannabis activists have now outlasted three governors, Tommy Thompson, Scott McCallum and Jim Doyle in their determination to end this injustice.

Please join supporters as they vigil before and during the Governor’s address.  This is also a chance to speak with lawmakers once the State of The State Address has concluded.  The facebook event does report that “Small signs should be okay.”
