WAUKESHA - An already
controversial session of the state Legislature is about to
spark another big fight.
Advocates for legalizing medical marijuana in Wisconsin
are gearing up to get a bill passed in the Legislature that
would open up the drug to those fighting severe diseases.
Gary Storck, spokesman for the group Is My Medicine Legal
Yet? said they expect the bill to be introduced within the
next six weeks and given the make up of the current ruling
bodies, gives it a good chance of passing.
"We had a poll done in 2002 and the results found
that over 80 percent of people statewide supported it,"
said Storck. "If the representatives and senators truly
represent the people, they’ll support this one thing that
has been introduced into every session since 1997."
