B Amy Loudenbeck (R - WI) MEDICAL USE

Loudenbeck is from Clinton and lives down there next to the state on our Southern border that now has legalized marijuana. At least this Rep was not so quick to dismiss recreational marijuana and just say NO after the 2018 referendums. Rock County in her district sent a clear message when 69% of voters supported legalizing adult use marijuana, taxing and regulating cannabis like alcohol. Rep. Loudenbeck did co-sponsor the Republican bill to start a medical marijuana program and look for her to take the lead on next session on discussing decriminalization and legalization.

Position on Marijuana Legalization

2014 - Video during candidate forums

2018 -State Rep. Amy Loudenbeck, R-Clinton, has typically shied away from supporting any kind of marijuana legalization, but she called Tuesday’s results “interesting.” It’s still “too soon” for her to shape her opinion on recreational marijuana, she said, but she seemed to indicate an openness to medical marijuana.

“If somebody is terminally ill … and prescribed marijuana, that is a very, very different argument than recreational use,” she said.

Recreational marijuana on the other hand?

“I’m open to having that conversation but still very skeptical,” she said.
