Legalize It Wisconsin

While we continue the vicious and costly cycle of criminalizing marijuana possession, a majority of registered voters in Wisconsin believe cannabis should be legal.

Additionally, Black and white people use marijuana at similar rates, but Black people in Wisconsin are 5.29 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people.

Read our op-ed or watch our explainer video about the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling allowing police to search a person after a traffic stop if they believe the vehicle smells like cannabis.

Sign the petition to let the Wisconsin Legislature know that the War on Drugs has failed, and so have our draconian policies on marijuana.
