On an afternoon in March, a patron walked into The Flower Shoppe<\/a>, a cannabis store tucked into a basement space near State Street. The customer said\u00a0<\/span>he\u2019d<\/span>\u00a0moved to Madison from Massachusetts, a state that legalized recreational cannabis in 2016.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cFirst\u00a0<\/span>time in<\/span>\u00a0here,\u201d he said. \u201cJust\u00a0<\/span>looking<\/span>\u00a0around.\u00a0<\/span>Haven\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>bought<\/span>\u00a0from a shop around here. The laws are\u00a0<\/span>pretty strange<\/span>\u00a0in Wisconsin.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After searching online through the stores around State Street, he\u00a0<\/span>determined<\/span>\u00a0that The Flower Shoppe on North Frances Street \u201cseemed the most like legal dispensaries I remember.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Flower Shoppe, opened by Erik Rasmussen in April 2024, carries all kinds of products: flower, gummies, canned THC drinks, infused candy\u00a0<\/span>bars<\/span>\u00a0and pre-rolls. Before entering the space, patrons enter a small foyer where they\u00a0<\/span>have to<\/span>\u00a0present their IDs before being buzzed in.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The foyer has a display with old cannabis and hemp books Rasmussen\u00a0<\/span>nabbed<\/span>\u00a0from the closing Paul\u2019s Bookstore.\u00a0<\/span>He\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0also\u00a0<\/span>hung<\/span>\u00a0some of his acrylic paintings, like a picture of Brewers Racing Sausages, some smoking a joint or hitting a bong.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rasmussen asks customers questions to help figure out what products might work for them, from something to relax to a product\u00a0<\/span>that\u2019ll<\/span>\u00a0help them deal with pain or sleep issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Recreational and medicinal cannabis use\u00a0<\/span>remains<\/span>\u00a0illegal federally and in Wisconsin. But in 2018, an exception was carved out on the federal level by the Farm Bill, which redefined hemp<\/a> and opened the door for purveyors to make and sell hemp-derived products with less than 0.3%\u00a0<\/span>THC,<\/span>\u00a0the compound\u00a0<\/span>generally associated<\/span>\u00a0with producing a high.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Since then,\u00a0<\/span>there\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0been a proliferation of stores selling hemp-derived THC products, particularly on State Street. Many have opened in the last five years.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Erik Rasmussen is the owner of The Flower Shoppe on North Frances just off State Street. He has years of experience growing and cultivating hemp and his store attracts clients specifically seeking out his expertise.<\/p>\n

While smoke shops like Sunshine Daydream and Knuckleheads have been on the block for decades, spots serving hemp-derived products opened more recently: Hemp 1848 opened in December 2022; Puffin Pass (which now has another store on University and another in Milwaukee) in April 2025; and Madison Extracts in October 2025.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This list is not\u00a0<\/span>exhaustive, and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>doesn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0account for corner and liquor stores that also sell hemp-derived THC products. Many of these stores \u2014 not just on State Street but throughout Wisconsin \u2014 face an uncertain future\u00a0<\/span>come<\/span>\u00a0November.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a law to end the 2025 federal government shutdown, members of Congress added a provision redefining hemp again<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>in an attempt to<\/span>\u00a0prevent \u201cthe unregulated sale of intoxicating hemp-based or hemp-derived products<\/a>.\u201d The law could make many of the products retailers in Wisconsin sell\u00a0<\/span>illegal<\/span>. The law is set to come into effect in November.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In March, Gov. Tony Evers sent a letter<\/a> to the state\u2019s congressional\u00a0<\/span>delegation<\/span>\u00a0urging them to change the new federal hemp law. The letter\u00a0<\/span>stated<\/span>\u00a0that Wisconsin\u2019s hemp industry is worth $700 million and employs 3,500 people.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cannabis is\u00a0<\/span>virtually unregulated<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in Wisconsin<\/a>, despite pressure from stakeholders to create regulations or pass laws that would legalize its use. The 2025 hemp definition change\u00a0<\/span>won\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0affect states with legal cannabis laws on the books.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis is an inflection moment within the state. This is\u00a0<\/span>an important point<\/span>\u00a0for … politicians to figure out the direction of cannabis policy in the state,\u201d said Lucas Richert, a historian of medicine and pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Without state action, retailers and growers still have many questions. Will the new guidelines lead to store closures? Who will enforce new standards? And will the state eventually take measures to regulate or legalize cannabis in some way when the Legislature goes back into session?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cRetailers care about what\u2019s going on … because their livelihoods are at stake, and their ability to operate within Madison is at stake,\u201d Richert said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite the industry\u2019s rapid growth, there are few answers, and many are preparing for a future with dozens of\u00a0<\/span>possible outcomes<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After taking a walk down State Street to tally stores selling hemp-derived or cannabis products (many in this story used cannabis and hemp-derived products interchangeably), Ald. MGR Govindarajan said he quickly \u201clost count.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Govindarajan, who\u00a0<\/span>represents<\/span>\u00a0District 8 on the Madison City Council, commented that there\u00a0<\/span>weren\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0as many of these stores \u201ca year and a half ago, and now it feels like every block has one.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are new stores all around Madison, but growth may feel the most acute on State, a pedestrian walkway that has historically been \u201cno stranger to the more\u2026 progressive youth\u2011movement type of products and services,\u201d said Matt Tramel, executive director of the Madison Central Business Improvement District.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tramel said there are 12 hemp-related stores in the downtown business improvement district and 10 on State Street specifically (which is in the district). The stores\u00a0<\/span>represent<\/span>\u00a05.2% of storefronts on State.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One of those spots is The High Crowd Cafe<\/a>, a cannabis cafe on the 100 block of State Street. Manager Alex Almaraz says\u00a0<\/span>it\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0one of the few spaces on the block\u00a0<\/span>that\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0open late and\u00a0<\/span>doesn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0serve alcohol.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The spot is not your \u201ctypical stoner place,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Alamraz<\/span>\u00a0said. He works to combat stereotypes about cannabis. He often stands outside the cafe, saying hello to people.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis is somewhere where you\u00a0<\/span>don’t<\/span>\u00a0have to cover your drink when you go to the bathroom. This is somewhere where you\u00a0<\/span>don’t<\/span>\u00a0have to worry about some drunk asshole bumping into you or hitting on you. …\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0a place to exist without judgment,\u201d Almaraz said.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rasmussen, owner of The Flower Shoppe, has years of experience growing and cultivating\u00a0<\/span>hemp<\/span>. Part of the reason he wanted to open a store was to get out of the greenhouse and share his knowledge with others.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI have a passion for trying to provide this plant for people, especially to get rid of the taboos \u2026 because I\u2019ve seen it help in so many ways.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rasmussen says he has a diverse\u00a0<\/span>clientele<\/span>\u00a0and that demand is growing. \u201cMost of the others down here are more focused on the college market. I have a lot of people 30-plus referred to me, from all over the Madison area, knowing they can trust what\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019m<\/span>\u00a0going to recommend.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rasmussen\u2019s not sure what\u00a0he\u2019ll\u00a0do come November, and\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0halted some projects due to legal ambiguity. But he\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0shut down \u2014 the space houses a glass\u00a0studio\u00a0and he can rely on consulting work to float him for a bit. Whether he\u00a0has to\u00a0pivot or cut his stock down to only certain products,\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0determined\u00a0to figure it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Flower Shoppe has all sorts of hemp-derived THC products, from gummies and flower to pre-rolls and candies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Craig Thran is the owner of 3 Tall Pines<\/a>, a grower and seller of hemp-derived products. The brand is vertically integrated and has a retail location, called\u00a0<\/span>Pinebox<\/span>, at 109 State St., which opened in 2024. The store sells a mix of items, like\u00a0<\/span>flower<\/span>, pre-rolls, gummies,\u00a0<\/span>topicals<\/span>\u00a0and tinctures.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the lead up to April 20 \u2014 a day that celebrates cannabis consumption \u2014\u00a0<\/span>they\u2019ve<\/span>\u00a0put together a\u00a0<\/span>420 rescue<\/span>\u00a0kit filled with products like an infused cookie and 3 Tall Pines-grown\u00a0<\/span>flower<\/span>, as well as lip balm, rolling papers and a sticker pack<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thran said he picked the location, for which he pays $7,000 a month, because \u201cI wanted to be right next to the Capitol. I wanted to make a statement that this industry is organized.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOne of the things we pride ourselves on here is that we control everything from seed to the point of sale, and that ensures quality, and it helps us keep prices reasonable,\u201d said Jeff McIntyre, manager of\u00a0<\/span>Pinebox<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

McIntyre has also noticed the proliferation of cannabis stores. \u201c<\/span>I’m<\/span>\u00a0seeing some people\u00a0<\/span>lowering<\/span>\u00a0their prices.\u00a0<\/span>I’m<\/span>\u00a0seeing people having to adjust to the competition.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

McIntyre says he sees a range of customers, from people who are just walking up and down State to professionals and knowledgeable cannabis users seeking the store out. Days when there are outdoor events tend to draw\u00a0<\/span>the most<\/span>\u00a0customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201c<\/span>I think the proliferation of cannabis shops<\/span>\u00a0is an outcry saying, \u2018Hey,\u00a0<\/span>we\u2019re<\/span>\u00a0here. We want this. We can support\u00a0<\/span>it,\u2019\u201d<\/span>\u00a0Thran said. People opening cannabis stores on State are making calculated business decisions, he said.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhen you put your business hat on, you think, \u2018What can I make money at selling?\u2019\u00a0<\/span>You\u2019re<\/span>\u00a0not\u00a0<\/span>gonna<\/span>\u00a0pay $7,000 a month selling pants and shirts downtown,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tramel noted that the COVID-19 pandemic changed the retail landscape on State Street, leading many retailers to close and\u00a0<\/span>creating<\/span>\u00a0space for new stores. \u201cThe pandemic … created vacancy. At the same time, you had this hemp bill\u00a0<\/span>create<\/span>\u00a0a new market.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0just natural economics.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Heather Ewing is the founder of ABSTRACT Commercial Real Estate, where she brokers deals for many downtown landlords and tenants. She thinks about alignment, or the idea that businesses near each other often complement\u00a0<\/span>one another, but<\/span>\u00a0said State Street is different from retail spaces like malls, which often have a single owner and can be more intentional in their curation.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cState Street is the opposite<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0more (about) the entrepreneur, the individual.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Whether there are too many stores selling hemp products on State Street might depend on who you ask.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI have not actually heard that from constituents.\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019ve<\/span>\u00a0heard that\u00a0<\/span>more from<\/span>\u00a0people who live outside of my district and visit State Street,\u201d said Will Ochowicz, the alder for District 2, which covers State Street from West Gorham to North Lake Street.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ochowicz\u00a0<\/span>noted<\/span>\u00a0the majority of residents in his district are under 35. Part of that has to do with the proximity of his district to the university, but he also pointed out that more young professionals are moving into the area. According to a report from Downtown Madison Inc.<\/a>, almost 80% of downtown Madison residents are between 15 and 34 years old.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cState Street ….\u00a0<\/span>it\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0not (just) a destination for people who live outside of downtown to come to.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0part of downtown, and it serves the people who live there,\u201d Ochowicz said<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The balance between access and oversaturation can be tricky. However,\u00a0<\/span>it\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0unlikely that more stores will open in the future. In November 2025, the Madison City Council passed an ordinance regulating the sale of hemp-derived THC products<\/a> in the city.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The ordinance created age restrictions (buyers\u00a0<\/span>have to<\/span>\u00a0be 21 and older), but also restricted stores from selling hemp-derived THC products within a quarter mile radius of \u201cyouth-serving organizations,\u201d including city and county parks.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The location of Elizabeth Link Peace Park, which is on the 400 block of State Street, effectively makes most of the block ineligible for new stores. (Existing stores are grandfathered in.)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe intention was from more of the public safety aspect, rather than stopping the growth of these stores,\u201d Govindarajan said. The ordinance also prevents retailers from selling hemp-derived products from vending machines and requires them to be displayed behind a counter.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This\u00a0<\/span>isn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0the first time the city has taken regulation into its own hands in the absence of state legislation. In 2020, the City Council allowed people 18 and older to\u00a0<\/a><\/span>possess<\/span><\/a>\u00a0up to 28 grams<\/a> of cannabis.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But city ordinances\u00a0<\/span>don\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0address the larger issue, and both Govindarajan and Ochowicz expressed uncertainty about what will happen to business owners who carry hemp products come November.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI am not going to say, \u2018Well, now it\u2019s illegal, and we have to enforce it,\u2019\u201d said Ochowicz.<\/span>\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m going to be taking the opposite approach, which is: How can we hold off enforcement until this is clarified, until the state can do something about this?\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Both alders are waiting for state action. \u201cI think the state should legalize it and then regulate it, both medical and recreational.\u00a0<\/span>That\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0my personal and political stance,\u201d Govindarajan said. \u201cAnd I think that aligns with most of my district and my generation, frankly.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hemp\u2019s uncertain future<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

During the most recent legislative session, lawmakers in both the Wisconsin Assembly and the Senate tried introducing bills related to hemp-derived THC products. Senate Bill 1045<\/a> sought to legalize recreational cannabis use for adults 21 and older. Assembly Bill 747<\/a> would provide a framework to regulate the state\u2019s existing hemp industry while also protecting children and consumers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Neither bill passed before the 2025-2026 session ended in March.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThere is a vacuum here because the state has failed to act,\u201d said Rep. Andrew Hysell, D-Sun Prairie. Hysell was the lead Democrat on Bill 747, which had bipartisan support.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hysell said the lack of legislation means there are really no guidelines on what purveyors are selling. A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel investigation<\/a> published in February tested 30 different hemp-derived products and found that some products\u00a0<\/span>contained<\/span>\u00a0more THC than what is allowed in states where cannabis is legal, and some had contaminants like mold.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got some really good actors out there that (use) standard operating procedures, and they operate at a very high level,\u201d Hysell said.<\/span>\u00a0The Journal Sentinel piece was \u201ca great example that we need specific rules, regulations, so that people can have confidence … in terms of what they\u2019re purchasing.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMost of the saturation in this market that we\u2019re seeing is people jumping in to grab money,\u201d said Tony Herman, co-owner of Dank of America<\/a>, which has two stores in Madison selling THC products. \u201cIt\u2019s like they\u2019ll buy products from a wholesaler because there\u2019s a good margin and not really understanding what the product is or what it\u2019s made for.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He noted the peculiarity of this moment. \u201cNever before with this loophole\u00a0<\/span>have<\/span>\u00a0we questioned it being taken away,\u201d Herman said. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen something be decriminalized and then recriminalized.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tony Herman, co-owner of Dank of America, said he’s never seen “something be decriminalized and then recriminalized.” He remains hopeful, despite impending legislation, Madison’s hemp industry will find a way to prevail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some speculated that stores will close. Others mentioned that the federal legislation might\u00a0<\/span>scare off<\/span>\u00a0actors with a lower stake in serving hemp-derived products, and only serious purveyors will remain.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hysell encourages business owners to hang on and not overreact. He noted that Wisconsin has its own, standalone definition of hemp (Statute 94.55<\/a>, which allows for the sale and distribution of hemp-derived THC products with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC). While cannabis is illegal federally, he reiterated that, to date, the government\u00a0<\/span>hasn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0interfered with states that have legalized its use.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhy would hemp\u2011derived THC be any different?\u201d\u00a0<\/span>he<\/span>\u00a0said.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But\u00a0<\/span>he\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0also hopeful for the future. \u201cIf there is a change in leadership in the fall in the Legislature, I will tell you this: One of the first things\u00a0<\/span>we\u2019ll<\/span>\u00a0need to do is address this. \u2026 We will need to address this ASAP.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Herman is watchful, but not worried. He recently renovated Dank of America\u2019s Williamson Street space \u2014 the back area is full of couches for people to sit and hang out. Dank hosts comedy nights and book clubs, surrounded by art made by local artists.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThere are few places you can go and just hang out, and we\u2019re sober when it comes to alcohol,\u201d he said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He also knows that no legislation will stop people from getting high.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, people are\u00a0<\/span>gonna<\/span>\u00a0smoke cannabis,\u201d Herman said. \u201cBefore prohibition (laws) were lifted, people were drinking alcohol.\u00a0<\/span>We\u2019re<\/span>\u00a0just talking about what\u00a0<\/span>they\u2019re<\/span>\u00a0doing on paper.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
