Jacki Rickert MMJ Act 2010 runs out of time in Wisconsin Legislature
MADISON: The latest fight for medical cannabis legislation in Wisconsin officially came to an end on April 22 with the release of “An Open Letter To Supporters Of Medical Marijuana” from State Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Madison) and Sen. Jon Erpenbach (D-Waunakee), announcing that AB554/SB368, the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act had run out of time in the current session. An article in the University of Wisconsin Badger Herald discussed the development.
While the failure of AB554/SB368 to pass is a setback, it is certainly not the end. State activists are already looking ahead not just to next session, but to laying the foundation for victory next session. The important thing they say is unity.
