Weed in Wisconsin: What’s Legal in 2025 and What’s Not

As of 2025, Wisconsin still bans recreational and medical marijuana. But hemp provides clearly defined legalized operating areas for adult access to compliant cannabinoid products. Here’s what you can (and can’t) buy right now.

Wisconsin and Weed: Where Are We Now?

Wisconsin might be America’s Dairyland, but when it comes to weed, we’re still grazing in the prohibition pasture. Marijuana possession remains illegal in the state, while our neighbors have moved ahead with some form of legalization. That leaves a lot of folks wondering what’s actually legal here—today.

The Legal Foundation: Hemp

Here’s the good news. There is a path forward—and it’s built on hemp. Federal law defines hemp as cannabis containing no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. Under this framework, Wisconsin retailers can offer a range of hemp-derived products that deliver real benefits while staying compliant.

At Happy Trails Medicinals, we operate squarely within these legalized operating areas with lab-tested, compliant products available online and in-store.

THCA in Wisconsin’s Legalized Operating Areas

THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the non-intoxicating precursor to Delta-9 THC found in raw cannabis. When heated—by smoking, vaping, or baking—THCA converts to Delta-9 THC. Because compliance is determined by Delta-9 THC content on a dry-weight basis, THCA products that meet the 0.3% threshold at time of testing can be sold as hemp in Wisconsin.

The result: adults can access hemp products that mirror traditional cannabis experiences, while maintaining compliance with current law.
