For patients to use medical , they have to:

• join a new state Department of Health Services registry
• have a medical condition to qualify for the registry like AIDS, cancer, post-traumatic stress disorder, Alzheimer’s disease, severe pain, or chronic disease
• obtain approval from a doctor after diagnosis to qualify and join the registry
• pay a registration fee of 0 and an annual fee of 0

Possible challenges in Wisconsin

Democratic Senator Jon Erpenbach, Democratic Representative Chris Taylor, and Republican Senator Patrick Testin introduced the new bill. According to them, the government shouldn’t decide whether a patient needs medical marijuana. Previously, I discussed how Democrats have always supported marijuana legalization. As the 2020 presidential election campaign heats up, Democratic candidates have stepped up for federal marijuana legalization. Recently, Beto O’Rourke boosted his election campaign with marijuana reforms.

Notably, Republicans haven’t always favored marijuana legalization. A Harvard study showed that 50% of Republicans oppose legalization. I think Republicans could be a challenge in Wisconsin. Notably, the Republican-controlled legislature will make it difficult for the bill to be passed.
