Vos said at a WisPolitics.com luncheon Thursday that Evers’ plan goes too far because it would also decriminalize possession of recreational marijuana. Vos says he thought he could get a majority of Assembly Republicans to support a narrow legalization of medical marijuana.
Vos says Evers failed to work with him to reach a middle ground on a marijuana proposal that could win support. But he says the current Evers proposal is a “very difficult sell.”
Evers plans to introduce the proposal as part of the state budget next week. Vos says it will be removed from the budget.
