Every one of Wisconsin’s border states have some type of medical or recreational marijuana, making it easy for Badger State residents to hop in the car, cross state lines and come back with an illegal substance.
But does buying the product legally make it legal in Wisconsin, and what about alternatives to the drug such as Delta 8?
Is it legal to bring weed purchased elsewhere into Wisconsin?
No, marijuana is illegal in Wisconsin. It doesn’t matter if it is legally purchased elsewhere. The fine for possessing small amounts of weed is just $1 in Milwaukee County. “Possession” qualifies as having 25 grams or less of the drug, according to the county ordinance.
Can I buy Delta 8 in Wisconsin?
Delta 8 can be purchased in Wisconsin.
Delta 8 is a “psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis sativa plant,” the USDA says. Delta 8 isn’t heavily regulated and can have higher levels of THC – the compound in marijuana that produces a high – than allowed. That’s led other states to crack down on the product.
Is CBD legal in Wisconsin?
CBD is legal in Wisconsin. CBD doesn’t cause a high, the Centers for Disease Control says. It can be found in foods, lotions or other supplements.
Is Kratom legal in Wisconsin?
Kratom is illegal in Wisconsin.
A handful of states are cracking down on Kratom, with some banning the product entirely. Kratom is an herbal supplement that can be used for pain relief, anxiety or opioid withdrawal symptoms. The Drug Enforcement Administration lists it as a drug of concern because it can cause hallucinations and is addictive.
