About Medical Marijuana in Wisconsin
Possession of cannabis is illegal in Wisconsin. Possession of under three ounces (85 g) of cannabis is a misdemeanor that can be punished with up to a year in jail and a $1000 fine; possession of over three ounces is a felony.
Only those with seizure disorders, cancer, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s, or other similarly severe and intractable conditions may possess and use low-THC CBD oil.
How to qualify
You must be 18 to qualify for medical CBD for yourself. You need to be a Wisconsin resident.
For minors
Those under this age will need parental consent.
Medical Conditions
Medical use is legal only in the form of low-THC, CBD-rich cannabis oil (CBD oil). Senate Bill 10 allowed for possession of CBD oil in Wisconsin if a doctor has certified the oil is being used to treat a medical condition. Conditions include:
Possession and Growing
It is illegal to possess cannabis in Wisconsin, except for CBD oil for those with a doctor’s certificate.
Cultivating cannabis is also illegal in Wisconsin.
Caregivers
There is no medical marijuana or caregiver program in Wisconsin.
01
That said, a person looking after a minor patient requiring medical CBD could be seen as a medical CBD caregiver of sorts.
Reciprocity
Wisconsin doesn’t recognize other states’ medical marijuana programs and cards.
Reciprocity is one key benefit for medical marijuana users. Unlike recreational cannabis users, medical marijuana users with a medical marijuana card can travel to the states listed above and purchase the medical marijuana they require while they are out of state.
