Wisconsin GOP Assembly Speaker Hopes For ‘Consensus’ On Medical Marijuana, But Says New Senate Bill Is ‘Too Broad’

Published

Wisconsin’s GOP Assembly The Legitius pointed out to legislators in the state “I can find agreement to legalize medical marijuana. But he added that The new Cannabis Bill presented Billpart of his Leadership in the Senate It is “unlikely” to exceed his chamber “is a broad and extensive way.”

“I’ve tried for five or six years” Loudspeakers Robin Vos (R) I said speaker on a conversation with Wisn-Tv on Sunday. “The idea that we will have medicine dispensers in all cities around the state, I don’t know where most people are.”

Last year, VOS restricted a medical channel bill Asked a limited program through state discourses.

“So we tried to be a much more limited version,” Let’s look at five or six discharge Americans (and) to help people who are not actually sick of diagnosis, “he said in the new interview.

But the model of the state had a controversial among his Republican colleagues, and suddenly stopped. Now, Vos last week’s President Mary Felzkowski (R) and GOP Legislature will be emerging concerns about new legislation included in other traditional protection systems.

“I still think it’s like trying to find agreement, but it’s like a version that was released, people worrying that people will bring leisure marijuana.” “I don’t want that.”

The speaker said it was “unlikely” that the Senate bills could be cleaned enough to clean the assembly.




“There is a whole group of Republic I understand, because they think it will be out of the recreation marijuana, that it would be horrible for Wisconsin,” he said. “There is another group that wants to legalize marijuana, and they are democrats, so they don’t want to be a real restriction.”

“So it’s very difficult to try to find the central consensus, and that’s why I thought it was a very scale, aimed at people who were really sick and poor. However, it will not be seen in a scenario.”

Asked the new bill of Senate boss, vos celurbill “Probably” should not be reached.

Last week, Felzkowski (R), previously supported another project in Cannabis Bill. Patrick testin (r) Sen. R) presented a new measure.

The text of the proposal was not immediately available, but Felzkowski would have previously invoices Doctors allow patients to issue medical cannabis recommendations One of eight conditions, including cancer, seizure disorders, traumatic stress cover and multiple sclerosis.

Legislation was relatively restrictive because the prohibited marijuana products were banned and did not raise their patients for personal authorization. Patients could only get cannabis preparations for oil, tablets, inkjet or topical.

“Someone who suffers a serious health condition should not be chance to travel to another state or break the law, try alternative medicine for relief,” said Felzkowski in a press release.

“This legislation is about providing a chronic disease to our friends, family members and neighbors, the freedom to study another chance with the doctor,” he said. “It is also possible for our small business businesses to participate in this market with reasonable regulations for making and selling products, all protecting public security.”

Session 2025 was launched, Senate’s leader said He hopes to have a dialogue in legislature on legalization of medical marijuana This year, however, the speaker of the assembly, he still imagined “obstacles”.

Meanwhile, the Republican candidate for governor Wisconsin said in July “Considering different options” was open “marijuana when they use doctors or adults In the state, even if he has given few ways to the specification so far.

Democratic side, today’s Gov. Tony never (d), which supports legalization of cannabis, is not again looking for elections. But he said in June When his party can take control of the legislature, the state may legalize the “Eventually” marijuana Residents should not go to the side of Illinois to visit adult use in the market.

In June, a survey of Marquette Law School discovered Two wisconsin voters help legalize marijuana.

The survey found the support for cannabis reform, usually since the organization has first started, since the continued public opinion of legalization in 2013, 67% of the voters protect the policy change. That’s 17% higher than the results of 2013.

Democrats are the best legalizing cannabis, in 88 percent, and then independent (79 percent). However, most Republicans (56 percent) said they are against the legalization of adults.

Emphasize the importance of the party control, the Senate of the State Senate Republic and the Assembly rejected another attempt to legalize marijuana this summer, Defeating corrections of the budget legislation that would end the State Prohibition And he established new programs for cannabis medical and recreation programs.

Ever This policy attempted to change as part of his budget requests-And democratic leaders have also been promoted to reform.

Republicans in legislature Also cut the provisions of marijuana from the state budget proposal in Mayas they did in past sessions.

Although Republicans move from the legalization of the budget legislation, Party leaders recently recognized the debate about medical marijuana legalization “that will not leave” And this session is expected to be resolved.

Marijuana Has ‘Horrific Health Risks’ And No Medical Value, Former Trump Attorney General Claims

By

A former US attorney general who served in President Donald Trump’s first term says marijuana poses “tremendous health risks,” has no medical value and should not be rescheduled under federal law.

“Marijuana redistricting would create a false impression that it is safe, reduce penalties for illegally selling the drug, and provide a large tax windfall to those who legally supply it,” William Barr wrote in a Wednesday op-ed for The Washington Post, Kevin Sabet, CEO of the prohibitionist organization Smart Approaches to Marijuana. “That would be a disaster.”

The opinion comes as the Trump administration moves forward with cannabis reregulation.

According to an order issued in April by US Attorney General Todd Blanche, Marijuana products regulated by a state medical cannabis license were immediately changed from Schedule I As did marijuana products approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

an administrator The hearing is looking at the broader rescheduling of marijuanawith The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has been tasked with advocating for cannabis reform highlighting the testimony about the medical benefits of marijuana and its relative safety compared to other substances such as alcohol and opioids. It included appearances by a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientist and a doctor from New Hampshire. Medical marijuana provides relief to pain patients and can serve as an alternative to opioids.

But Sabet and Barr, who served as Trump’s attorney general from 2019-2020, argued that “the evidence presented at the hearing did not support the rescheduling of marijuana” and instead “confirmed what decades of data have shown: raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and is highly susceptible to abuse.”

After the parties to the hearing have filed termination rights, the DEA administrative law judge overseeing the proceedings will make a recommendation regarding rescheduling, and the agency administrator will make a final decision.

DEA Administrator Terrance Cole only organizations and individuals opposed to marijuana reform have been invited to the hearing as a designated participant – telling supporters that they do not meet the definition of “interested person” to participate because they have not been “affected or prejudiced by any rule or proposed rule that may be issued.”

The former attorney general’s new opinion says “the stakes couldn’t be higher”, arguing that “marijuana today is more dangerous than ever” and that it is “addictive”, throwing out a list of alleged harm to mental and physical health.

“These unhealthy effects are a predictable result of a powerful and addictive drug being normalized, commercialized and marketed as a medicine,” Barr and Sabet say. “It would be one thing if marijuana had medical value. But there is no credible evidence that marijuana is an effective treatment for any medical condition, despite the millions of dollars spent trying to prove otherwise.”

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published a 252 analysis in 2023 that concluded that marijuana had accepted medical value and should be rescheduled.

The new opposition piece also says that “rescheduling would unlock enormous revenue for the corporate marijuana industry by bringing it into a category that has not been covered by a longstanding reduction in federal drug tax deductions,” referring to a law known as 280E, which repeals Sections I and II.

“This, in turn, would allow the industry to spend even more on advertising and marketing to young people,” Barr and Sabet. he wroteArguing that “those who would lose this dragon in society are laying the foundations for another Big Tobacco”.

The Sabet organization, SAM, is one of several parties Challenging the Marijuana Redistricting Process which have been upheld by a federal Court of Appeals. those separate parts State attorneys general have filed lawsuits against cannabis reform, Opponents of marijuana legalization and a a cannabis-based biopharmaceutical corporation.

SAM’s lawsuit was signed by attorneys at Torridon Law PLLC, where Barr is a partner.

The team announced in January that it was Hiring Barr’s firm to fight cannabis rescheduling After Trump signed an executive order directing officials to quickly complete the process.

During the first Trump administration, Barr was accused by a Justice Department official Directing improper anti-company investigations into multiple cannabis company mergers– Accounting for almost a third of the division’s cases in 2019.

Several Democratic members of Congress introduced a resolution calling for an investigation into Barr’s possible impeachment, saying “abused the power of his office” to improperly investigate marijuana businesses while engaging in other allegedly illegal conduct.

How much red light does cannabis really need?

Published

2 months ago

on

July 26, 2026

By

When growers pull out two LED fixtures side by side, the first number they usually discuss is percent red. This is an easy specification to fix. They are efficient at producing red photons and incredibly efficient at photosynthesis, and cannabis eats away at the flower. So more red must be better, right?

Not so simple. Red is an input to a spectrum, and the spectrum is an input to a room. There is no single spectrum that wins everywhere. An indoor room pushes hard, a greenhouse that soaks up sunlight, a temperamental cultivar, and aggressive yields call for something different. Knowing what each light strip actually does allows you to choose a tool that fits your grow instead of one that just has a big number on the sales page.

Blue: structure
Blue (approximately 400-500 nm) gives shape to the plant. It maintains dense growth, strong stems, tight internodes and allows it to develop as desired. It also encourages stomatal opening, so the plant manages water and gas exchange better. Get blue and you’ve built a plant that can carry heavy flowers with no problem.

Green: access
Green was eliminated as the wavelength is “reflected” by plants. It turns out that it does a real job. Blue and red are absorbed above; the green goes deep into the fat and reaches the leaves that are never touched by the above photons. In a compact room, it’s the difference between plants photosynthesising from the top down and those that work only from the top. Green won’t replace your red or blue, but it does carry usable light where they can’t reach.

Red: engine
Red is the horse of the flower. It absorbs as efficiently as anything in the spectrum, and is responsible for most of the biomass you’re after. Redder generally means faster flower development, more weight and better efficiency per watt.

But red has a ceiling, and it’s tied to what you run. Push PPFD upwards with a heavy red spectrum and some cultivars begin to whiten at the top: the flower should be dense with pale, washed tips. Genetics, intensity, barrel temperature and your general environment all feed into it. If you’re using aggressive light levels, a lower red spectrum will buy you room before that becomes a problem, leaving you almost no photosynthetic punch to get it.

Far Red: More than Emerson
Far-red (700-750 nm) appears in more devices every year. It contributes little to photosynthesis on its own, but it moves plant morphology and works with red through the Emerson Enhancement Effect. Used properly, it helps to deepen the light, encourage uniformity of the canopy and encourage the response of the bloom. The key word is small. A touch of far red rounds out a spectrum; he’s not there to make a show.

Matching the red percentage with the room
Cannabis addresses the entire spectrum, not a line on a spec sheet. Reds cause flowers, but blues, greens and crimsons give the plant something it needs. Where you land in red refers to how you grow.

A lower red spectrum (30-40%) captures more blue and green, gives you better morphology, reduces the risk of photobleaching, and holds up when you’re running extreme PPFD. Moderate spectrum (40-55%) is the sweet spot in commercial greenhouses: strong photosynthetic efficiency, strong flowering, balanced growth. A high-red spectrum (70%+) makes the most sense in a greenhouse, where the sun is already giving you lots of blue and green and your supplemental light can cast effective red to fill the gap.

Where does the ETS MAX series fit in?
This is the thinking behind the JumpLights ETS MAX series. Instead of forcing a spectrum into each room, it rarely comes up because a greenhouse and a high PPFD indoor flower room are not the same problem.

  • ETS MAX 4C41% red: for indoor rooms operating at very high intensity, where photobleaching is a real risk. The wider, red bottom balance allows you to push the tops without overcooking them
  • ETS MAX 4A48% red: balanced internal spectrum that maintains high output while controlling bleaching.
  • ETS MAX 5B57% Red: A high-performance indoor option. Moderate red, marked with efficiency and flower at the same time, up to 3,450 μmol/s, with efficiency that holds the spectrum.
  • ETS MAX 7A76% red: built for the greenhouse. The sun already supplies blue and green, so this leans heavily on the complementary red, up to 3,900 μmol/s in the infrastructure most greenhouses already have in place.

Bottom line
Choosing an activity is not a competition for the highest red number. The winning spectrum is the one that matches your environment, your intensity, your genetics, and what you’re trying to produce. Combine spectrum, intensity, environmental control, light distribution and genetics, and you’ve got a lighting strategy. Keep a spec isolated and all you’ve got is a bright room.

The ETS MAX line was created around this idea: choose the spectrum of the room you actually have, indoor or greenhouse, and let the device work with your grow rather than against it.
