Wisconsin: Where Green Bay isn’t so Green
As of now, the Wisconsin marijuana laws fall behind neighbors of Minnesota, and Illinois to the south. Wisconsin still hasn’t moved towards decriminalization, which means a low-level possession offense can bring up to six months’ incarceration, as well as a maximum fine of $1,000.
Medical marijuana in Wisconsin has only seen the allowance of CBD oil usage. As of now, there’s still no way to legally obtain it in the state, but doctors can recommend it, and it can be possessed legally if you do somehow come across it. Is marijuana legal in Wisconsin? Just CBD, and just barely.

Stevens Point, one of the more liberal Wisconsin cities for marijuana, has already decriminalized, going against the Wisconsin marijuana laws since there’s been so much state inaction. Medical marijuana in Wisconsin seems to be just as far-reaching as recreational since both of these types of bills have failed to pass thus far.
It seems like Wisconsinites really want weed, so while the cities are trying to fix that themselves, the state needs to stop dragging its feet. Check out some states where you have more freedom with cannabis, by looking at all US marijuana laws here!
