From the Article:

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, who has pushed for full legalization of recreational marijuana, said Wednesday that he is open to a more limited medical marijuana legalization being promoted by Republicans.

“I would think that getting it all done in one fell swoop would be more thoughtful as far as meeting the needs of Wisconsinites that have asked for it,” the Democrat said in an interview with The Associated Press. “But if that’s what we can accomplish right now, I’ll be supportive of that.”

Republicans have been working behind closed doors for years on a medical marijuana bill and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said in December that they would unveil it this month. Republicans have repeatedly rejected calls from Evers and other Democrats to legalize all uses of marijuana, including medical and recreational.

Vos said the proposal would be limited and modeled after the medical marijuana law that had been in place in neighboring Minnesota before it moved to full legalization.

“I’m glad that the governor is open to supporting our proposal,” Vos said Friday. “But if he keeps saying it’s only a precursor to recreational marijuana, it will kill this proposal.”

      I dunno man… I was pretty damned shocked by the words “Republican proposal to legalize marijuana”… Ya know? That’s a little less suckage than usual ;)

        Heel of the loaf, where it’s just that useless sliver to thin to toast but still bread. Baby steps for the frightened republicans.

          Is there a pool going anywhere on what state is the final holdout? My money’s on Idaho :)

    Vos is such a peice of shit. He’s acts like such a tough guy saying he will pull the legislation if Evers won’t stop calling it a precursor to full legalization.

    I’ll call your bluff you shit stain
