- Casey Kaiser, Attorney at Law, Littler

The use of THC as a product for sale in restaurants and bars is becoming very popular with a rise in THC infused non-alcoholic beverages. What’s legal and which regulatory department governs THC in Wisconsin can be challenging to understand, though. Did you know that where the product is manufactured is one key factor in determining if you’re legally serving?
In addition to being in legal compliance with what you’re selling, there are concerns to consider regarding the safety and efficacy of THC, as well as potential legal and reputational risks for businesses operating in this space.
This expert panel will provide you with answers to your THC & CBD questions. They will cover:
- A review of state law and what you can legally serve.
- Employment policies and liabilities…like employees drinking n/a THC beverages while on the clock.
- The business benefits of adding THC products to your offerings, as well as the possible reputational risks.
