A Pipe Dream Without Action

Let’s be blunt: in Wisconsin, the idea of a cannabis caucus still feels like a pipe dream. It’s talked about among advocates and a handful of insiders, but with no leadership willing to step up and formalize such a group, it remains just that—a dream.

Inside the Capitol, interest exists. Outside, the people are demanding action. But unless someone brings those forces together, cannabis reform in Wisconsin won’t move forward.

As the federal caucus drifts through another session without meeting, Wisconsin shouldn’t wait around for D.C. to lead the way. If anything, the vacuum at the national level proves why we need to get our act together here at home. Until then, a cannabis caucus in Wisconsin will remain what it is today—just another pipe dream for people who care.

Update on the 2020 H**p Heroes and where are they now.

In 2025 they helped pass the h**p v**e legislation into law.

In a significant move for Wisconsin’s h**p industry, the state has officially carved out an exemption for non-nicotine h**p-derived va**ng devices—quietly but powerfully. The policy, originally introduced as standalone legislation, passed the State Assembly by voice vote, which means there is no official record of who supported or opposed it. That lack of recorded opposition was likely strategic and allowed the bill to advance quietly through the process.

But while the legislation awaited a floor vote in the State Senate, an unexpected twist occurred: the language was folded directly into the 2025–27 Wisconsin State Budget.

This kind of policy inclusion is highly unusual, especially for something as specific and controversial as h**p v**es. Typically, budget bills focus on fiscal matters, and non-fiscal policies are stripped out during negotiations. That wasn’t the case here. Thanks to the tireless work of lobbyists, bill authors, and advocates, the exemption made it all the way through the final version of the budget—a rare win in the complicated world of cannabis politics.
