Early February was the state of Wisconsin’s first official cannabis expo. The event was a hit, selling nearly 2500 entrance tickets prior to the event. While Wisconsin is still struggling for legal access to high THC cannabis, federally legal hemp (below 0.3% THC) is allowed. This event brought together professionals and community from all sectors of the industry to show their support for a local cannabis network. Most notably the women of Wisconsin are coming together for cannabis.
Wisconsin currently has medical cannabis legislation pending a public hearing, but some advocates are disheartened by the current cannabis political climate around cannabis.

The first Wisconsin Toketivity chapter is based out of Madison, one of the most progressive areas in the state. Because the WI Cannabis Expo was being held in Milwaukee, the ladies from the Madison chapter recognized the value in holding an event near the expo venue later that same day. Bringing women together for all things cannabis is literally what this organization does. Tokeativity is a nonprofit social club that works to empower women at the root level. By creating social, interactive and creative environments with a focus on plant-based medicine, for women to explore personal and professional growth in a space away from the male gaze.
While, traditionally, Tokeativity events are consumption-based and feature sponsor brands on the venue site. However, because cannabis has yet to make it to the legal books in WI, this chapter has to re-think their foundational consumption focused efforts. In addition to the illegal status of cannabis over 0.30% THC, the Wisconsin chapter has also expressed difficulty in seeking venues that would potentially allow consumption of cannabis under 0.30% THC.
