Marijuana for Medicinal & Recreational Purposes

I support the legalization of cannabis for medicinal and recreational purposes. Legislation should strictly regulate cannabis sales and possession limits as well as hold people accountable for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of cannabis. Our State will also benefit from a reduction of inmates serving time for crimes related to marijuana which is a cost savings. Additionally we could see less families struggling with only one parent or income leading to potentially less families needing government assistance. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue also estimates that our state could see an increase in tax revenue of approximately $165 million annually between excise tax and general sales tax. Money which can go towards priority issues.
