The Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association (ICIA) and the Wisconsin Tribal Task Force on Cannabis have launched the Wisconsin Wellness campaign to advocate for the legalization of medical cannabis in Wisconsin. The campaign highlights the medical benefits of cannabis for conditions such as chronic pain and PTSD, with the aim of increasing access for state residents. Rob Pero, ICIA founder, emphasized the pressing need for reform, citing the difficult choices residents face in obtaining cannabis legally. Kristin White Eagle, a Ho-Chunk Nation legislator, shared personal stories to illustrate the potential positive impacts of legalization. In Idaho, activists are shifting their focus to a non-commercial cannabis legalization initiative for the 2026 ballot after facing challenges in previous medical marijuana campaigns. Despite Idaho's stringent marijuana laws, public support for medical cannabis remains high.
