MADISON: The Dane County Board’s Executive Committee unanimously voted Thursday night to send to the full County Board a resolution that would put an advisory referendum on medical marijuana on county ballots in the Nov. 2 general election. The vote to adopt Res. 70, 10-11, Referendum on Medical Marijuana by the full 37-member panel is scheduled for the Thursday July 15 meeting.
The resolution asks whether board members want to place the following question before voters:
"Should the Wisconsin Legislature enact legislation allowing residents with debilitating medical conditions to acquire and possess marijuana for medical purposes if supported by their physician?"
The meeting will begin at 7:00 pm in Room 201 of the City-County Building 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in downtown Madison. Supporters are urged to attend and register in support as well as contact their County Supervisor and ask they vote for the medical marijuana advisory referendum resolution.

This is a very important issue. I was attracted to Wisconsin because of her more progressive laws and overall attitude. Every situation needs to be given its day in court. We should never just say no, due to our ignorance. I do know that people with sickle cell anemia and other many other forms of ailments can be greatly reduced with cannabis. And worst of all some of them are being prosecuted like common drug dealers or drug abusers. This has to change. NOW. So, lets not downplay how important this new resolution is. Cannabis is not like PCP or LSD or Crack Cocaine or any of that #$$%%. Its a natural substance that can be helpful with prescribe doses in a control situation.
This next meeting is on July 15 at 7pm. Here is the link to the Dane County Supervisors email county_board_recipients@co.dane.wi.us , and don't worry about supervisor names, this email will send your message to them all. So be heard. Thanks.
