Wisconsin House Approves Medical Cannabis Bill
Wisconsin’s House of Representatives has passed a measure (Assembly Bill 726) to legalize the cannabis compound cannabidiol.
The Senate is expected to vote on the proposal Tuesday.
Under the proposed law, “A practitioner may dispense cannabidiol in a form without a psychoactive effect as a treatment for a seizure disorder or may provide an individual with a hard copy of a letter or other official documentation stating that the individual possesses cannabidiol to treat a seizure disorder if the cannabidiol is in a form without a psychoactive effect.”
If the measure passes the Senate, it will go to Governor Scott Walker for consideration. Walker has not taken a position on the bill, and tells us he will evaluate it if it passes the Senate.
Although the proposal clearly doesn’t go far enough, it’s still a significant step forward, as cannabidiol has been shown through research to help with a number of conditions, including seizure disorders.

Just pass a a damn law and make marijuana legal already.

It is a chicken shit way out of legalizing for all people who need it. Waste of time in my opinion. Let them know by mass exodus to Colorado or Washington state for 4/20 which is the Easter Holiday. Fly, caravan or single vehicle. Just be free

This is a tiny step toward what many of us hope will be the approval of medical marijuana. We who have chronic pain and other disabilities should sue to widen the scope of this bill once it is passed. And, we don’t have to move far if we wish to get the real deal. Illinois and Michigan are already on board. Minnesota is considering passage of a medical marijuana bill, as is Iowa. Wisconsin is surrounded by more sensible states. Of course, with our Tea Party government in charge, cannabidiol is the best we can hope for…for now.

So the good public servants of Wisconsin have a clearer understanding of how the various chemicals in the cannabis plant work than all the scientific experiments of the last 20 years have been able to determine. What if my seizure disorder requires the THC you’re criminalizing combined with the CBDs you’re legalizing? Tough luck? Thanks, but no thanks until you can get it right. Even THC has medicinal benefits, you prohibitionist holdouts.

I have a family member who is having to move out of state to use Cannabis oil to heal his Cancer. He has stage 4 Cancer and given less than a month. A good many people have used Cannabis oil to completely reverse their Cancer and he should not be having to move out of state to treat his illness. This man didn’t burn his draft card. He reported for Vietnam. But does his country give a damn about him right now. Hell no they don’t !!!

Keep it illegal. As a dealer I love selling to kids and making stacks of tax free cash. Thanks for letting me keep my job. I can buy guns and houses.

You are an idiot. CBD oil is usually administered through a dropper, or capsule. Not smoked. And even if it were smoked, you would rather have hundreds or thousands of sick people, including kids, suffer from debilitating and life-threatening illnesses? Because you say it makes your lungs “literally stop working”? Which is a downright lie, because if that were the case, you would be dead. Why not just stay away from people smoking, rather than forcing everyone else to be sick? Tobacco is legal, and that will hurt your lungs, and it won’t help anybody treat any kind of illness, only cause it. But instead of spending your time attacking tobacco companies, who kill people, you want to spend your time stopping the use of medicine that can help people. You are selfish and dumb. And ignorant.

They really need to legalize the Mary Jane already
