By Jennifer Cadottte LCO Public Relations Specialist


The 3rd annual Wisconsin Cannabis and Hemp Summit was held in Mole Lake, WI on Feb. 27-28, 2025. The purpose of this event was to bring tribes, industry leaders, experts, and state officials together to share information on matters regarding policies and regulations of manufacturing and distribution of cannabis and hemp taking place in Wisconsin.

 

Lac Courte Oreilles Secretary/Treasurer Bill Trepanier and tribal consultant, Thi Le attended the summit. Le’s recommendations include, “exploring regulatory and

operational opportunities in cannabis, beginning with hemp operations to expedite and enhance a transition or incorporation of marijuana, to continue with plans to operate a hemp retail dispensary and parallel exploration into cannabis cultivation and processing, and finally to investigate opportunities in hemp fiber production.”

 

The Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Governing Board remains conscientious of the impact on our memberships’ health and safety while moving forward with this endeavor.
