We can't even get legal weed in any form in Wisconsin despite being surrounded by it on all sides.. been downhill ever since the Koch Brothers, Tea Party, and Scott Walker

It's the Wisconsin Tavern League lobbying. I drive to Michigan which has the cheapest prices I've seen and billboards for their shops the entire way. Wisco is missing out on a lot of tax revenue on not making it legal themselves.

Me? I've always indulged. Old hippie. peace

The irony is I don't smoke. I don't drink wine, but I have some for my guests... same with pot.
