There will be a scheduled hearing for November 1, 2023.

Wisconsin: A pair of Democratic lawmakers in Wisconsin last week introduced legislation to legalize recreational marijuana for adults and establish a framework for regulated cannabis sales. If passed, Wisconsin would join the nearly two dozen states that have ended the criminal prohibition of marijuana.

  • The state Department of Revenue (DOR) would be responsible for licensing cannabis businesses. Producers and processors would need additional permitting from the Department of Agriculture. Businesses with 20 or more employees couldn’t be licensed unless they have a labor peace agreement.
  • Because Wisconsin doesn’t have a medical cannabis program, the bill dually legalizes for adult and medical use. DOR would need to create a medical marijuana registry for qualifying patients, defined as those with a “debilitating medical condition” such as cancer or AIDS.

Ohio: Issue 2, which legalizes recreational marijuana will go on the ballot this November. Issue 2 proposes granting 40 (new) cultivation licenses and 50 (new) dispensary licenses, and would allow medical cultivators and dispensaries to expand (granting existing medical facilities additional licenses). There is no stipulations for new or expanded processors.
