Hemp products are legal in Wisconsin, but only if they have very low levels of THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes people high. With support from the Fund, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel commissioned independent testing on 30 gummies, vapes and edibles bought at hemp stores – and found that most of them contained illegal levels of THC. Some contained more than 200 times the legal limit of THC, and one contained hazardous chemical compounds used in paint thinners. The report also analyzed legislative efforts to better regulate the sale of hemp products, particularly to children.
