flag Wisconsin residents buy legal cannabis in nearby states, costing Wisconsin millions in lost tax revenue.

flag Wisconsin residents are buying cannabis in neighboring states like Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota, where it is legal, leading to lost tax revenue for Wisconsin. flag In 2022, Illinois collected $36.1 million in cannabis taxes from out-of-state buyers, with about half of border county sales coming from nonresidents, likely including many from Wisconsin. flag Michigan and Minnesota do not track nonresident purchases, so the full extent of Wisconsin’s revenue loss remains unknown. flag Wisconsin’s strict cannabis laws mean residents must travel to access legal marijuana, diverting tax dollars to states that have legalized and regulated recreational use.
