Current initiative:
We are collecting signatures in targeted Wisconsin cities and villages to place a referendum question on the general election ballot which would demonstrate to our elected officials that there is a mandate from the public to pass a medical marijuana law. It would read as follows:
“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?”
See our print your own how-to collect signatures for this referendum. Or other Print your own
Someone from within the city/village must file some paperwork with the City Clerk, but it's simple and they and we will help you through the process and then signatures must be gathered. here are the Wisconsin Statutes. Don't let this worry you, it's simple. First step is either Contact us or the city/village clerk.
