On Monday, Sept. 29, 2025, in Madison, Senate President Mary Felzkowski (R-Tomahawk), Senator Patrick Testin (R-Stevens Point), and Representative Patrick Snyder (R-Weston) introduced legislation to give patients across Wisconsin access to safe and legal medical cannabis.
Forty other states currently allow the legal use of medical cannabis products. The new legislation would create a program in Wisconsin to license growers, processors, labs, and dispensaries. The bill includes safeguards to ensure medical cannabis is not abused or accessed by those without a medical need.
“Someone who suffers from a serious health condition should not have to make the choice to travel to another state or break the law so they can try an alternative medicine for relief,” Felzkowski said. “This legislation is about giving our friends, family members, and neighbors suffering from a chronic illness the freedom to explore another option with their doctor. This is also a chance for small businesses in our state to take part in this market with reasonable regulations on making and selling these products, all while still protecting public safety.”
Felzkowski represents the 12th Senate District, which includes Lincoln County.
