Why this petition matters

Started by Breah Ostertag

Wisconsin law states that possession of any amount of marijuana is punishable by a sentence of up to 6 months in jail or up to a $1,000 fine for a first offense, and a sentence of up to 3.5 years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000 for any subsequent offense. 

More Americans are arrested for marijuana possession than for murder, rape, aggravated assault, and robbery (all violent crimes) — combined. And black Americans are four times more likely to be arrested for it than white Americans.

Marijuana must be decriminalized to bring about criminal justice reform. Use your voice to tell Wisconsin state legislators that marijuana must be decriminalized in Wisconsin.
