The DEA just spent two weeks in a federal hearing on moving marijuana to Schedule III. Its own lawyers told the judge they support the move.

So is weed about to be legal in Wisconsin?

No. Not even close.

Even if all marijuana goes Schedule III:

• Possession is still a crime in Wisconsin
• Any detectable THC while driving is an OWI, impaired or not
• The new roadside saliva swab tests presence, not impairment

Legal in Illinois or Michigan does not mean legal here.

Briefs are due Aug 17, then a judge's recommendation, then a final DEA rule. No timeline yet.

Tony Romo's first court date is September 21.

He was arrested July 23.

Most people look at those two dates and assume nothing has to happen in between.

In Wisconsin, that assumption is how drivers lose their licence before a judge ever hears whether they were impaired.
Because Romo wasn't only cited for OWI. Court records and Milwaukee County body-cam footage show he refused the evidentiary breath test after arrest, and he was cited for that too.
In Wisconsin, refusing is a second, separate case.

And it comes with a deadline almost nobody knows about:
⏱️ 10 days. Not 10 days from your court date. 10 days from the Notice of Intent to Revoke, which most people mistake for a receipt.

Miss it and a 12-month licence revocation takes effect automatically, with no right to challenge it. On top of anything the OWI case does.
If you or someone you know refused a test in Racine, Kenosha or Walworth County, find that notice today and count the days from it.

We wrote up exactly how the rule works, what a refusal hearing can actually argue, and why "just refuse it" is worse advice than it sounds 👇
