An honest reading of the Constitution with an original understanding of the Founders and Ratifiers makes it quite clear that the federal government has no constitutional authority to override state laws on marijuana.
All three branches of the federal government, however, have interpreted (and re-interpreted) the commerce clause of the Constitution to authorize them to engage in this activity, even though there's supposedly no "legal" commerce in the plant. At best, these arguments are dubious; at worst an intentional attack on the Constitution and your liberty.
Currently, 13 states have legalized marijuana for medicinal use, and soon, Wisconsin may join them.
This month, the Wisconsin legislature is expected to consider a state medical marijuana bill co-sponsored by state Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison, and Sen. Jon Erpenbach, D-Waunakee.
If the legislation passes and is signed into law, a person with a prescription from a doctor could obtain up to three ounces of marijuana from a licensed dispensary or grow up to 12 plants at home.
According to a story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, House and Senate Bills (AB554 and SB368) define how many people can be cared for and place caps on the amount of marijuana that can be available in compassion centers, as well as allowing production and distribution facilities.
