On Saturday; attendee's of the 37th annual Great Midwest Marijuana Harvest Festival asked the question: "Why isn't it legal?". The festival goers made it their focus to talk about a bill which could be introduced in the state Legislature this week that would allow Marijuana to be used for certain ailments.

"Every day, cannabis helps me live better, " said Gary Storck, of Madison, the organizer of the event, who uses marijuana for glaucoma and chronic pain. "Immediately when I take it I feel a good effect. "

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Frank Boyle, D-Superior, and Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison, likely will be introduced Monday, Pocan said last week. It is being called the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act after a woman who rode her wheelchair 210 miles from Mondovi to Madison 10 years ago to raise awareness of the issue.
