Combined Committee Hearing:
Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act

December 15, 2009 Wisconsin State Capitol.
A combined public hearing on AB554/SB358, the Jacki Rickert MMJ Act was held where citizens could submit written testimony, and/or testify in person in regards to medical marijuana in the state of Wisconsin.

The bill is not about marijuana legalization, but creating a narrow exemption for the sick and dying.
Legalizing marijuana overall is not covered by the bill, and is not pertinent to this discussion.

Passage of this act will ensure that qualified patients shall no longer be sanctioned for their medicinal use of marijuana.

I personally wasn't at this hearing for fear that they would not let me in to video record.
How fortunate I am to find this video from madison .com
I can not explain the video cause it seems to be missing quite a bit of information.
It was recommended that to attend I should dress appropriately. I mainly have tye-dyes. and since it is not for total legalization, my testimony would not have been heard.
