Too hot for Wisconsin's two largest newspapers: Medical marijuana really about personal freedom http://www.madisonnorml.org/blog/archives/000558.php Posted by Gary storck
Thursday, March 4, 2010

Some days it seems as if the entire establishment in Wisconsin has united to suppress AB554/SB368, the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act. Little news about the bill has made state news outlets since the public hearing in December.

Fox 11 Green Bay report on T.H.C. "Talking Hemp and Cannabis" expo in Berlin WI Feb 6, 2010. http://www.madisonnorml.org/blog/archives/000552.php Posted by Gary Storck
Saturday, February 6, 2010

The T.H.C. "Talking Hemp & Cannabis" expo drew dozens to the Berlin WI Public Library today. Below is a disappointing report from Fox11 in Green Bay, which had great footage of Jacki and me, but left most of it out in favor of some opponent with an illogical opposition to protecting the sick and dying from arrest and jail for treating themselves with a non-toxic plant.

The timelessness of Wisconsin's out of touch state lawmakers http://www.madisonnorml.org/blog/archives/000550.php Posted by Gary Storck
Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Gov. Jim Doyle did not mention medical cannabis in his "State of the State" (SOTS) Address to a joint session of the state legislature Tuesday night. Medical cannabis supporters have had a presence at the SOTS dating back to the early 1990's when Tommy Thompson had only been governor 6 or 7 years, and we'll likely be there in 2011. Just as timeless as our presence at the SOTS is the lack of movement session after session after session.

Patients are looking to lawmakers to get it together and pass, This Bill, This Time! Let us hope they do not fail us again!
