Wisconsin has no legal recreational or medical marijuana dispensary program. State law prohibits cannabis sales, so no municipality can authorize dispensary operations through zoning ordinances.
Because Wis. Stat. chapter 961 classifies marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance, any sale of THC products outside the federal hemp framework is a felony under Wis. Stat. 961.41(1)(h). Wisconsin lacks both a medical marijuana program and an adult-use retail framework, so there is no legal pathway for a dispensary. Local zoning approvals cannot legalize a state-prohibited activity. Licensed CBD and hemp-derived product retailers may operate under Wis. Stat. 94.55 if products contain less than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC, subject to general retail and DATCP rules. Cross-border sales from legal states do not legalize possession in Wisconsin.
Operating an unlicensed marijuana dispensary is a felony under Wis. Stat. 961.41 with prison terms scaling by quantity, plus asset forfeiture and federal exposure under the Controlled Substances Act.
