A long-time cannabis advocate and lawmaker is determined to carefully assess a medical marijuana bill that Wisconsin's Republican legislators introduced on Monday. "I am thoroughly reviewing every provision of this bill because the devil truly is in the details," State Senator Melissa Agard (D-Madison) said in a statement. "This is a serious matter the legislature will be taking up in the coming weeks." Agard, who has been tireless in her efforts to enact cannabis policy reform said the GOP-backed legislation is "overly restrictive" and that it "does not move our state in the right direction." However, Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos seems to be of the opposite opinion. He said the bill represents the maximum extent that Republicans are willing to go.
