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.
Over the course of modern history marijuana has been stigmatized, associated with negative connotations and been blamed as the gateway to stronger more addictive drugs. While marijuana use has been recorded throughout history as a relaxant, mood elevator and aid for pain, it is still a drug that the government knows very little about.

Theres side bar to this prohibition. As a supposedly educated country we stil have been unable to establish the difference between hemp and cannabis. As we watch the continued clear cut harvest of Wisconsin’s trees, pollution of our waterways with chlorine bleach, and ever increasing losses of the family farm I’m left to wonder why hemp is still considered Marijuana. Theres not enough THC in hemp to get anyone high yet it is illegal in all fifty states. Farmers are kept from a cash crop that when rotated with corn enhances the soil for the corn without chemicals. Hemp makes excellent paper using biodegradable hydrogen peroxide rather then bleach. It provides biomass for animal feed or ethanol. The can easily be converted to oil for our gas guzzlers or food cakes for the starving since it contains the enzymes and omegas needed to support human life. How about clothing that wears much longer then any we produce now. There is no reason hemp should be grouped with cannibis as a controlled substance. The other travesity is keeping research of cannabis by independent research groups a crime. As for crowding the prisons, I had that experience first hand and was amazed by how many of my fellow inmates were in for non violent crimes. My “rehabilitation” is complete yet getting a job interview in the last nine years is not. Thanks to all of you who work to keep the truth alive as our country continues to dumb down education and destroy our rights with the continued use of fear.
Marijuana prohibition has been a total failure and is perhaps this country's greatest mistake. Not only has it created criminals out of nearly a third of the country's populace, it costs our society billions of dollars every year, creates a strain on our prison system, and has little or no effect on marijuana use in the US. In some cases, prosecuting marijuana use has turned non-violent, middle class kids into violent and unpredictable, career criminals. Once a person has a criminal conviction on their record, they are far less likely to find a good job and become a useful member of society. Other countries with more liberal drug laws have much lower rates of drug addiction among their people.
