What’s the future of marijuana and CBD in Wisconsin?

Marijuana was among the big winners at the polls in November, with voters in counties across the state signaling their support for legalization. Backers also have a friend in Gov.-elect Tony Evers, who has said doctors should be able to use cannabis to treat patients. 

Meanwhile, CBD, a cannabis compound, has been heralded as a cure-all for everything from seizures to chronic pain to better sleep. Lawmakers have approved its use, but questions over its health benefits - and legality - remain.

A Jan. 8 Wisconsin Health News panel in Madison will take a closer look at the legal and health issues around marijuana and CBD – and their future in the state. 

Panelists:

·       Dr. Mike Miller, American Board of Addiction Medicine

·       Michael Queensland, Senior Staff Attorney, Wisconsin Legislative Council

·       Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison

·       Sen. Pat Testin, R-Stevens Point
