Marijuana
To help Wisconsinites better understand issues regarding marijuana, the Badger Institute is releasing a series of policy briefs. We aren’t weighing in on whether Wisconsin should keep cannabis illegal, allow medical use, or legalize adult recreational use, though we may do that at some future point. Rather, we simply seek to establish as many relevant facts as possible.
What’s New
Federal enforcement of cannabis laws in Wisconsin has been minimal in recent years, with only 67 individuals sentenced for federal marijuana crimes since 2017 and none at all in the Western District between 2020 and 2023.
Perspectives
Opposing opinions on marijuana legalization were published in the Spring 2019 edition of Badger Institute’s Diggings magazine.
