Join the CCE and Common Ground for a Community Conversation!

Exploring the Pros and Cons of Cannabis Legalization; 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23

Gov. Tony Evers (D) has recently called for Wisconsin residents to have a “meaningful conversation about treating marijuana much like we do alcohol.” In terms of policy changes, there appears to be more bipartisan agreement for legalizing medical marijuana rather than recreational legalization in Wisconsin. Advocates highlight the economic benefits, while critics see a high potential for abuse and cite safety concerns.

Join us VIRTUALLY for a dialogue that explores these important questions, guided by trained facilitators from Common Ground.

  • Where do you stand?
  • What hopes and concerns do you have about legalization?
  • How do we envision our lives if/when marijuana becomes legal?
  • What are the results from states with early legalization?
  • How should tax revenues be allocated if/when marijuana becomes legal?
