During 2017 Rep. Billings supported CBD legislation and an Assembly Joint Resolution to place a medical marijuana on a state wide non binding referendum.
In 2018 she ran unopposed and in October 2018 had somewhat disappointing news comments, including invoking the "slippery slope theory" by saying "A common path for other states is to open the door with CBD oil and then medical marijuana and then recreational marijuana," and goes onto questioning the validity of medical marijuana.
The 2019-2020 she was not vocal on adult use marijuana reform. Medical marijuana saw two different bipartisan versions this session, which both came up empty with her name. She only co-sponsored a decriminalization measure, AB 980 to barely earn her C- that session.
In 2021-22 legislative session a majority of Democrats co-sponsored adult use marijuana legislation, but Rep. Billings was absent from that initiative also.
During her 2022 Wi Eye at the 15:00 minute mark she takes a minute to answer the "marijuana question" and says she recently changed her stance and then went onto buy into the "fentanyl laced marijuana scare" and mentioned that Wisconsin is an island.
