    What’s up with Wisconsin having thc infused beer available retail when everything else is illegal?

      Like the other person said, the law limits hemp-derived THC content to a percentage by weight, so soda/beer and gummies can have a lot more THC in them since they weigh a lot more than dried plant matter.

        Yeah but Wisconsin is a Republican hell hole with insane mandatory minimum sentences for first time offense any possession.

          It’s the federal hemp bill that makes it legal. They can’t do anything about it because it’s classified as hemp not cannabis

    My very not-legal-advice, probably missing details summary is that the way the Farm Bill was originally written was to outlaw hemp-derived Delta-9 THC over 0.3% by weight. So long as the total amount of D9 THC derived from otherwise legal hemp in anything is less than 0.3% by total weight of the product, it’s legal. In order to stay under that limit, all you need to do is make sure your 5mg gummy weighs more than ~167mg or so, which isn’t difficult.
