Late last month, Republican leaders announced their intention to introduce a limited medical marijuana legalization bill in this year’s legislative session. Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers said last week that he can support a medical marijuana legalization bill, acknowledging that more comprehensive cannabis policy reform is unlikely to be approved by the state’s Republican majority legislature. In 2019, the poll found 83% said they were in favor of legalizing medical marijuana. But Republican leaders in the state legislature have resisted calls to legalize recreational cannabis and declined to approve the governor’s proposals. Evers has long supported legalizing recreational marijuana and has twice included plans to regulate and tax adult-use cannabis in state budget proposals.
