Assembly Rep. Sargent

On Monday, April 13th, Representative Melissa Sargent (D-Madison) will be officially introducing LRB-0188, which would legalize marijuana in Wisconsin.

Throughout the nation, marijuana legalization is gaining momentum.  Twenty-three states and the District of Columbia currently have laws legalizing marijuana in some form. Right here in Wisconsin, a bill was signed into law last year that legalized the use of cannabidiol for medical purposes, recognizing its healing benefits.

With an ever-expanding prison population, the worst racial disparities in the nation, and a black market that puts marijuana users in contact with hardened criminals; it is becoming increasingly clear that the most dangerous thing about marijuana is that it is illegal.

Representative Sargent will be joined by Joe Erato, the president of the Wisconsin Cannabis Project.
