The cannabis business environment in Wisconsin is challenging, to say the least. Recreational marijuana is outlawed, and access to medical marijuana is restricted to limited cases involving CBD products with less than 0.3% THC. Despite the hurdles, hemp businesses are carving out space under Wisconsin’s hemp program. Still, navigating this tightly regulated market requires a nuanced understanding of state and federal laws.
For businesses, the risks of non-compliance are staggering. Violations can result in hefty fines, license suspensions, and even asset forfeiture. For individuals, marijuana possession—even in small amounts—can lead to misdemeanor or felony charges, including jail time and fines.
