Clyde Tinnen Authors Article on Potential Medical Marijuana Legalization in Wisconsin

Foley & Lardner LLP partner Clyde Tinnen shared insights on proposed Wisconsin legislation that would legalize medical marijuana in the article, “Is Legalized Medical Marijuana Coming to Wisconsin?” published by the State Bar of Wisconsin’s Business Law Blog.

Tinnen surveys the Wisconsin legislation’s key components, including the creation of the Office of Medical Cannabis Regulation, licensing requirements for growers and processors, legal protections, and restrictions on product forms and advertising.

“The bill comes on the heels of anticipated federal action,” Tinnen writes, “including statements by the Trump administration about cannabis rescheduling for purposes of the Controlled Substance Act (CSA) and legislation reintroduced late in the summer in the U.S. House of Representatives to federally legalize cannabis by removing it entirely from the CSA.”
