Clark County Ordinance
On November 7, 2024, in a unanimous vote, the Clark County Board of Supervisors approved a new ordinance regarding hemp-derived cannabinoids.
Specifically, the county ordinance:
- Prohibits the sale or delivery of any hemp-derived cannabinoid product to a person under age 21.
- Prohibits any person under age 21 from using or possessing any amount of a hemp-derived cannabinoid.
- Requires retailers to verify a person’s age by checking a valid photo ID before selling or providing a hemp-derived cannabinoid product.
- Prohibits the sale of hemp-derived cannabinoids within 750 feet of youth-serving organizations such as, but not limited to, child care centers, schools, playgrounds, city or county parks.
Failure to comply with the new ordinance may result in a fine of up to $500 per violation.

The article is over and change is coming to the hemp cannabis landscape in Wisconsin. The Republicans have elected their 2025-26 Senate and Assembly Leadership Teams and although there were some changes, the Assembly Speaker Vos has already signaled a difficult road for cannabis reform since his caucus membership shrank from 64 to 54 after the fall election.
Wisconsin needs elected officials who sponsored the various bills throughout past sessions and the newly elected legislators supporting reform on the campaign trail to work together towards sensible cannabis reform in a bi-partisan nature.
An official bipartisan state caucus can streamline cannabis reform legislation at the state level while developing and promoting sensible cannabis policy reform and work to ease the tension between political parties.
