WISCONSIN • CANNABIS• HEMP • MARIJUANA EXPERT WITNESS

Ted Menadier provides expert witness services in Wisconsin cannabis, marijuana, and hemp matters involving hemp compliance, cannabis identification, crop valuation, market pricing analysis, cultivation practices, and industry standards. Wisconsin maintains a complete prohibition on medical and adult-use marijuana while operating a regulated hemp industry and hosting an active THCA flower market. Wisconsin is surrounded by legal cannabis states — Illinois and Michigan to the south and east, Minnesota to the west — making it one of the most active cannabis transportation interception states in the Midwest despite having no legal cannabis program of its own.

Wisconsin's agricultural heritage supports significant outdoor hemp cultivation across its farming regions, generating crop loss, valuation, and compliance disputes. The I-90 and I-94 corridors connecting Chicago to Minneapolis pass directly through Wisconsin, generating a steady volume of cannabis transportation and hemp vs. marijuana classification matters in both state and federal courts. Wisconsin's active THCA marketplace combined with its prohibition on marijuana means hemp vs. marijuana identification and THCA product disputes are among the most common cannabis litigation matters in the state.

Cannabis Expert Analysis and Testimony for Criminal and Hemp Matters

Wisconsin's prohibition on marijuana, active THCA marketplace, and position along major Midwest transportation corridors mean criminal and civil matters involving cannabis identification, hemp compliance, THCA flower, and unlicensed cultivation arise regularly in both state and federal courts. Matters in Wisconsin frequently involve hemp vs. marijuana identification, plant counts, yield estimates, COA interpretation, THCA product disputes, and the distinction between legal hemp products and marijuana. I provide expert analysis and testimony to help attorneys, judges, and juries understand the technical realities of cannabis and hemp cultivation and production in Wisconsin's unique legal environment.
