GET ME REWRITE: Wisconsin GOP leadership drags its heels on legalization while residents go elsewhere to buy weed

 
Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/17/2023
Wisconsin is in the minority of states whose lawmakers have not legalized marijuana use in some form. Thirty-seven states have medical marijuana programs, including Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota. 
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has proposed legalizing marijuana three times but Republican lawmakers who control the state Legislature have rejected the idea. It appeared at the start of the new legislative session that began in January that GOP legislative leaders were changing course and moving closer to creating a medical marijuana program in Wisconsin after years of opposition to the idea but the effort quickly stalled.
