The top Democrat in the Wisconsin Senate has released a marijuana policy “zine” featuring information and cartoon illustrations about the state’s ongoing prohibition of cannabis as neighboring jurisdictions adopt legalization.
Senate Minority Leader Melissa Agard (D), who has long championed marijuana reform within the recalcitrant conservative legislature, published the magazine online on Friday, part of a renewed effort to draw attention to the issue as she prepares to introduce another statewide legalization bill this session.
