GET ME REWRITE: Wisconsin GOP legislative leaders just can't seem to do anything right (medical marijuana edition)

The measure drew opposition for being too conservative in severely limiting who could have access to medical marijuana and how it would be distributed, while others faulted it for not going far enough. Senate Republicans objected to having state-run dispensaries, while Democrats pushed for full legalization. 
“We see that the Senate wants to have a more liberal version than the one that we’re willing to pass,” Vos said at a news conference. The votes remain to pass the original Assembly version, Vos said, but it won’t come up for a vote before the Assembly ends its session for the year next week. 
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers voiced support for legalizing medical marijuana as a step toward full legalization.

Just like allowing clerks to start processing ballot before Election Day, Wisconsin was way behind the curve on this issue, too.
