About Us
Passionate Team. Collaboration Driven.
Wisconsin Cannabis Activist Network is a group of concerned citizens from all walks of life, professions and political affiliations working together to reform the cannabis laws in Wisconsin.
Our Priorities and Goals
1: Decriminalize personal possession of marijuana.
Replace criminal violations with civil violations.
Remove the felony provision for personal possession of subsequent offenses.
This is a plant, and no one in Wisconsin deserves a felony for possessing a plant substance that can be purchased legally elsewhere.
Create a program for expungement.
2: Establish a medical cannabis program allowing:
a) smoking and eating cannabis
b) patients the ability to grow/cultivate their own plants or designate caregivers to do it for them
c) Let doctors decide qualifying conditions, not legislators
d) a structure for municipalities to govern commercial medical marijuana facilities and farmers markets
e) reciprocity with other medical marijuana states.
3: Establish a recreational adult use program.
Allow the state to license, regulate cannabis like alcohol, including home cultivation and sales; implement a low tax on commercial cannabis and low entry fees / fair commercial licensing structure.
4: Wisconsin Cannabis Caucus
Work with Senate and Assembly allies to form the first-ever Wisconsin Cannabis Caucus to develop and promote sensible cannabis policy reform and work together to reform state cannabis laws under a bipartisan nature.
