Evers Signals Support for GOP's Restrained Medical Marijuana Bill Amid Legalization Push

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat who has advocated for the full legalization of recreational marijuana, expressed support for a Republican-backed proposal for medical marijuana legalization. While Evers prefers comprehensive legalization, he is willing to back the limited measure as a step forward. The GOP's medical marijuana bill is expected to be unveiled soon, with Republicans cautioning that framing it as a step towards recreational use could jeopardize its success. Wisconsin lags behind many states in marijuana legalization, with strong public support indicated by polls.
