Wisconsin Republicans unveil restrictive state-run medical marijuana plan

Wisconsinites would need a doctor’s diagnosis to meet a list of numerous conditions: 

  • Cancer, HIV or AIDS, seizures and epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder, Alzheimer’s disease, glaucoma, severe chronic pain (tightly defined in the legislation), severe chronic nausea, severe muscle spasms, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, chronic motor or vocal tic disorder, Tourette syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, any terminal illness with a probable life expectancy of less than one year
  • A state pharmacist would then prescribe the amount of medical marijuana in various forms, excluding smoking.
  • According to the proposal:
  • Medical cannabis concentrates, oils, tinctures, edibles, pills, topical forms, gels, creams, vapors, patches, liquids, or forms administered by a nebulizer.

Basically, you have to be near death! 🙄
