Unclear - not yet confirmed
- In short
- Wis. Stat. s. 961.14(4)(t) schedules THC 'in any form including ... chemically synthesized' (with a hemp exception) and s. 961.14(4)(tb) lists synthetic cannabinoids by structural class; the parts of s. 961.14(4)(t) and (tb) that we quoted on Oct 8, 2026 do not have the words HHC, THC-O or THCP, so their state status is not yet confirmed. HHC is federally Schedule I by name since May 4, 2026 (91 FR 23913).

Wis., pro se, filed Jul 27, 2026): PI/TRO motion filed Aug 17; on Sep 11, 2026 the court entered an 'Order on Motion for Preliminary Injunction AND Order on Motion for TRO' (outcome not yet confirmed); an extension-of-time motion filed Oct 1 was ruled on Oct 6. The Legislative Council brief (May 19, 2026; read Oct 8, 2026) says the state's hemp definition "does not automatically change with a change to the federal definition".

Federal: cannabinoids the plant cannot make leave the hemp definition
From Nov 12, 2026, products containing cannabinoids that are not capable of being naturally produced by the plant (for example THC-O) are no longer hemp under P.L. 119-37 §781 as limited by P.L. 119-103 §2019. Everything else waits until Dec 11, 2026. On Oct 8, 2026 we found no FDA list that names the cannabinoids, on FDA's cannabis page or in a Federal Register search for FDA documents (a dated search, not a confirmation).
General information from public sources with the statute and the check date on every row — not legal advice. Grey means not yet confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
›Does 'not yet verified' mean banned?
No. A grey lamp means we have not checked that state and product class against a primary source yet. It is on the verification queue. Verified rows show the statute and the day we checked.
›Does the checker decide whether my product is legal?
No. It shows the state row for a product class: the lamp, the channel, the caps and the statute. Compare your label or certificate of analysis with the caps yourself. The status lamp comes from the rules row only.
›What is a 'licensed channel only' lamp?
The product class may be sold in that state, but only through a licensed channel — a licensed hemp retailer, a liquor or package store, or a marijuana dispensary — often with caps and an age limit. The row names the channel and the statute.
