Wisconsin Cannabinoid Industry Council
WCIC is a Wisconsin trade association advancing clear, workable rules for hemp-derived cannabinoids—protecting consumers while supporting farmers, manufacturers, and small businesses across the state.
What We Do
Policy & Legislation
We advocate for clear, workable rules that protect consumers and preserve lawful business pathways for Wisconsin farmers, manufacturers, retailers, and compliance stakeholders.
Consumer Safety & Standards
We support science-based testing, age-gating, labeling, and compliance standards that improve product integrity and strengthen public trust.
Transparency & Accountability
We operate with published governance documents, recorded decisions, and a documented policy process so members can see how positions are developed and adopted.
