Bills Would Reduce Marijuana Penalty in Wisconsin
Wisconsin lawmakers introduced two bills to cut criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana. The changes, requested by the Wisconsin Association on Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse, would remove penalties for up to 100 grams of marijuana and up to 28 grams of concentrated cannabis in one bill, and up to one ounce in the other, with forfeiture of up to 100 dollars and no criminal record. The measures aim to mirror recent decriminalization in several states and address enforcement costs and perceived deterrent effects.
