Legal Topics
It is illegal to possess cannabis in Wisconsin, except CBD oil, for patients with a doctor’s certificate. Cultivating cannabis is also prohibited in Wisconsin.
Despite neighboring states, such as Michigan and Illinois, legalizing recreational marijuana, Wisconsin still imposes penalties like fines and jail time for simple possession. However, several local jurisdictions have passed resolutions that partially or fully decriminalize minor cannabis possession offenses.
Caregivers
There is no medical marijuana or caregiver program in Wisconsin.
Under most states’ medical cannabis laws, a caregiver can be assigned to assist with the purchase and administering of medical cannabis to minor patients or patients who otherwise may need assistance from others.
Most states have a minimum caregiver age requirement (typically 18 or 21). In many states, the caregiver must also have no criminal convictions relating to drug offenses or violent crimes.
