Madison residents voted April 1st, over 63K of them, by a two to one margin to advise the state to legalize marijuana. This reflects the nature of sentiment state wide and it's time to end the war on drugs. While it seems antithetical, prosecuting people for pot has done more harm to Wisconsin than the flower itself ever did.

The State Senate also passed a law allowing drug companies to produce "CBD" drugs for medical use in the state. As someone with a niece that suffered as a baby with multiple seizures daily, it was good to see the state finally take this action. To the state legislators who passed this important legislation, thank you.

Finally, there is more work to be done. There are new treatments for addiction and cancer that our legislators need to allow here in the state. We need to end the prohibition on hemp and take the lead returning the nation to this cash crop. And finally, we need to address the incarceration rate in our state and in particular of our black men. It is time for us to end the damage phase and move to healing our state.
