Right Now, Anyone Can Buy Hemp-Derived THC in Madison
from City Cast Madison · host City Cast
Cannabis is illegal in Wisconsin, but you can buy hemp-derived THC drinks, edibles, vapes, and even prerolls at several stores all over Madison. That’s because these products fall through a legal loophole and are largely unregulated. Amidst rising health concerns, Madison City Council President and District 5 Alder Regina Vidaver has proposed a new ordinance that would set a minimum age of 21 for those allowed to buy these products. Host Bianca Martin talks to Alder Vidaver about the proposal's public health motivations, community feedback, and the steps ahead. 👋 Wanna talk to us about an episode?
