What the record says

No Wisconsin statute or DATCP rule restricts hemp-derived delta-9 THC by product form. A compliant (0.3% dry weight delta-9, or federal max up to 1%) vape product is lawful hemp, not 'marijuana,' under Wis. Stat. 961.01(14). A pending 2025-26 session bill (SB644, companion AB680) would add a 21+ age-verification, testing, and packaging framework for a new 'intoxicating hemp product' category, but it has not been enacted as of 2026-07-18. Wisconsin exempts compliant hemp (0.3% or less delta-9-THC on a dry weight basis, or the federal maximum up to 1 percent, whichever is greater) from the definition of 'marijuana' (Wis. Stat. 961.01(14)), making hemp-derived delta-9 THC unscheduled and untaxed at the state level. No enacted WI statute or DATCP rule imposes a product-form ban, statewide age gate, or per-serving/package cap on hemp-derived delta-9 THC. A pending 2025-26 session bill (SB644, companion AB680) would create an 'intoxicating hemp product' framework with 21+ age verification, lab testing, child-resistant packaging, and a 1.0 mg per 12 fl oz beverage threshold, but neither bill has passed as of 2026-07-18.

Controlling language, verbatim

Marijuana does not include hemp, as defined in s. 94.55 (1).

What the record says

Lawful under the general hemp definition.

(1) Definition. In this section, "hemp" means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis or the maximum concentration allowed under federal law up to 1 percent, whichever is greater, as tested using post-decarboxylation or other similarly reliable methods. "Hemp" does not include a prescription drug product that has been approved by the U.S. food and drug administration.

(2) Regulation of hemp.
(a) Subject to the provisions under this section, a person may plant, grow, cultivate, harvest, produce, sample, test, process, transport, transfer, take possession of, sell, import, and export hemp in this state to the greatest extent allowed under federal law.
(am) The department shall issue licenses to hemp producers if hemp producers are required to hold a license to produce hemp under federal law and if the secretary of the U.S. department of agriculture has approved this state's hemp program. If the department issues such licenses, no person may produce hemp without a license from the department.
