Wisconsin is gonna be the last state to legalize because we're the Alabama of the fucking north. Your 5th DUI probably has lesser consequences than getting caught holding here.
You're the Alabama of the north? Have you ever heard the Hoosier accent? And both Dan Quayle and Mike Pence come from Indiana. Also, we once tried to legislate pi. And not to the correct value of pi.

Lol fair points, tho we do have quite an accent up here dontchyaknow? But I guess you have Gary, IN too and all we have is a bunch of serial killers.
Wisconsin is a purple state that's gerrymandered to hell. Zero movement on any progressive agenda for over a decade. The progressives here have gotten dejected and tend to overexagerate the problem.
Not that it's all great. It's just not "Wississippi".
Whereas Indiana is sometimes rightfully nicknamed 'The Middle Finger of the South.'
Yall might have something akin to fair elections this year. Maybe.
Your purple state may actually be purple soon.
Meanwhile, yesterday I walked into a store and bought THC vape cartridges legally. There was even an armed cop in there for security. I said hi to him on the way in.
I know "just move" isn't a real solution, but man I would never live in a state that isn't solid blue ever again. After growing up in a "purple" area of a red-leaning state, the difference is pretty insane.
