Wisconsin Marijuana Compliance
Wisconsin Marijuana Laws
Overall Status: Fully Illegal
In the state of Wisconsin, the consumption, sale, and possession of both recreational and medicinal marijuana are strictly prohibited. In 2019, the Wisconsin State Legislature passed Senate Bill 188, which legalized the sale and consumption of cannabidiol (CBD) products that contain less than 0.3% THC across the state. Wisconsin employers who wish to conduct employee and applicant drug testing do not face any marijuana-related restrictions due to minimal legalization.
Medical Marijuana: Illegal
Under current Wisconsin marijuana law, there have been no successful efforts to legalize the consumption and sale of medicinal marijuana. In 2013, the state did legalize CBD oil for medical use under Wisconsin Act 267; however, consumption was strictly permitted for those suffering from epilepsy. In 2018, the state passed Senate Bill 188, which removed condition-specific regulations and legalized the use of CBD products containing less than 0.3% THC on a statewide level.
Decriminalized: No
There have been no changes to current Wisconsin marijuana laws that have decriminalized marijuana possession. Under current Wisconsin marijuana compliance law, a first-time offender found in possession of any marijuana amount faces a misdemeanor charge punishable by up to a $1,000 fine and six months in jail. Subsequent offenders found in possession of any marijuana amount face an upgraded felony offense punishable by up to 3.5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Recreational Marijuana: Illegal
With the state of Wisconsin currently prohibiting the sale and use of medicinal marijuana, no successful legislative changes have been made to legalize recreational marijuana either. Only under Senate Bill 188 is a Wisconsin resident allowed to possess and consume CBD products containing 0.3% or less THC. Those found in possession of any marijuana amount face misdemeanor or felony charges depending on the specifics of the offense.
