Direct Legislation in Wisconsin

Direct Legislation in Wisconsin

Wisconsin Statute 9.20 covers direct legislation in Wisconsin. To sum it up, although Wisconsin doesn’t allow ballot measures state-wide like Colorado or Oregon, we can petition and vote for ordinances at the municipal (city or village) level. For a petition to force a vote, the number of valid signatures must be greater than or equal to 15% of the votes cast in that municipality in the previous governor’s election. And you must collect that many signatures within 60 days (basically, whenever you turn the signatures into the city/village, only signatures from the previous 60 days will count as valid). To make this easier I made a Google Docs spreadsheet that calculates how many signatures are needed in each municipality. Click here for that. The spreadsheet hasn’t been updated yet with the numbers from this governor’s election, but the number for each municipality shouldn’t change a whole lot. - See more at: http://www.sewisconsinnorml.org/direct-legislation-in-wisconsin/#sthash.eMG4w92b.dpuf

Hemp, Cannabis, Marijuana, weed, grass, pot, etc...Whatever you want to call it, it's been around a long time.  Some historians say they can date the use of it back to 2700 B.C.  Cannabis has been used medicinally, spiritually, religiously, culturally, industrially, as a recreational 'drug' for thousands of years.

Marijuana prohibition has been based on racist claims and plain ignorance  since the beginning.  Only to keep certain people in power and specific fortunes in tact.  Please spread the truth about cannabis/hemp before someone else spreads the lies about marijuana.

Cartel's are getting rich outside the U.S.A. because of the legality of  marijuana inside the U.S.A. We can grow this very easily for medicinal, textile, industrial, even recreational use. Who knows you could be the next Tommy Hempfinger, hemp designer!
