Title:
Wisconsin voters support medical marijuana
Message:
Yesterday, voters in River
Falls and Dane
County, Wisconsin were asked on their local ballots if they support medical
access to marijuana for seriously ill residents so long as their doctor
recommends its use. The non-binding question passed in both River Falls (68% - 32%) and Dane County (75.5% - 24.5%)!
As you may recall, last session lawmakers in Madison debated
a medical marijuana bill yet failed to take a vote on the issue. The
overwhelming support by residents of both Dane County
and River Falls on these non-binding
advisory referendums signals to legislators that medical marijuana is a serious
and important issue to the voters.
A big thanks goes out to all who made these advisory
referendums possible and especially to the good people of Dane County and River
Falls for so clearly voting for compassion.
