Sturgeon Bay City Council member Seth Wiederanders is pleased with Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos's call to legalize medical marijuana use in the state. Representative Vos hopes to meet with his caucus to discuss legalizing medical cannabis this fall. Wiederanders is planning to introduce an ordinance change that would eliminate fines for using marijuana in one's home or other private property. He welcomes Vos's decision.
Wiederanders says he's heard from one constituent who would benefit from medical marijuana and is lacking peace of mind for using it at home.
Wiederanders is proceeding with plans to introduce his ordinance change eliminating fines for use of marijuana on private property next week. It's expected to be introduced when Sturgeon Bay's Community Services and Protection Committee meets on July 8th at Sturgeon Bay City Hall on Michigan Street at 4:00 PM.
