Marijuana Laws
As recorded December 15, 2025 · not verified as current law. Wisconsin law
Cannabis laws in Kaukauna follow Wisconsin’s state law. Local cities generally do not set separate marijuana rules, so penalties are determined at the jurisdiction level.
Recreational cannabis is illegal. Medical use is limited to certain low-THC or CBD products for specific conditions, without dispensaries or a comprehensive program. Possession of marijuana carries legal risk and can result in penalties. Some hemp-derived products may be sold under separate rules, but that does not mean marijuana is legal, and legality can depend on product content and labeling.
Quick facts
- Recreational: Illegal
- Medical: Limited (CBD/low-THC only)
- Possession: Illegal; penalties apply

Practical guidance
Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products.
Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
Legislative Background
Wisconsin maintains strict prohibitions on recreational cannabis, which remains illegal. A limited program allows non-intoxicating CBD oil (less than 0.3% THC) for patients with seizure disorders since 2014 (expanded slightly in 2017), but no dispensaries or broader medical framework exists. Possession of any amount is criminalized, typically as a misdemeanor for small quantities.
Law Enforcement
Kaukauna had a reputation as a pot town, and people felt officers could stop them over very little. Finding weed in a stop was thought likely to bring a fine.
