Wisconsin governor to propose decriminalization of marijuana | TheHill
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) says he will propose decriminalizing the possession of marijuana in his annual state budget proposal this year, adding that he will also propose expunging the criminal records of those who have completed their sentences for the charge.
In a press release Monday, the governor also announced that he would seek to align the state's regulations on cannabidiol, or CBD oil, with federal standards.
==================================
Decrimilization is just a tiny step away from legalization even in a conservative state like WI. It's mainly about the tax benefits for the state.
