Agard Introduces Bill To Legalize Marijuana In WI

Madison Democrat State Senator Melissa Agard has once again introduced a bill to legalize and tax marijuana in Wisconsin. Speaking at a dispensary in South Beloit, Illinois, Agard says that adding cannabis to Wisconsin’s agricultural landscape could be huge for the industry.

“We must be investing in one of our state’s oldest and most successful important industries and helping them operate more effectively in a twenty-first-century model.”

Agard says that a marijuana industry already exists in Wisconsin, and that the bill would bring it out of the black market. The bill is unlikely to get a hearing in the Republican controlled legislature.
