About us
The Great Midwest Hemp Fest is the longest-running cannabis rights festival in the United States, held annually in Madison, Wisconsin since 1971. Formerly known as The Great Midwest Marijuana Harvest Festival, it began as a smoke-in at the Wisconsin State Capitol to protest the cannabis-related arrests of legalization activists in the 1970’s. The Great Midwest Hemp Fest places a strong emphasis on education and advocacy, aiming to dispel misconceptions and promote evidence-based information about cannabis. This festival gives speakers, professionals and advocates a chance to network, learn, shop and join the community in opposition to cannabis prohibition in the State of Wisconsin.

Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) proposed an amendment that would federally ban "all ingestible hemp products with any level of T H C." According to MJ Biz, "That language would render most products containing delta-8 T H C and other novel cannabinoids such as HHC illegal under federal law. That includes T H C A. Yesterday the Mary Miller Amendment was passed without a roll call vote. Meaning voters were left OUT of the decision. Let's remind lawmakers that they represent US. And WE stand united with the hemp industry. Take action to Defeat Hemp-Killing Amendment to Farm Bill NOW: https://lnkd.in/g3kQvksY Sources: Chris Roberts for MJ Biz Daily and the U.S. Hemp Roundtable

As we gear up for 2024, we are looking to the leaders in this movement. Organizations like the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association, who held their 2nd annual Wisconsin Cannabis Industry & Policy Summit at the end of February. It was an incredible experience to be among so many powerful voices. A special thanks to the ICIA, Rob Pero, Mary Jane Oatman, Samantha Skenandore, and Apache Danforth for hosting and organizing this event.

🎥✨ Our latest video is here, shining a spotlight on the four points of focus that make The Great Midwest Hemp Fest's mission stronger than ever! 🤝💛 Join us on this inspiring journey as we delve into the heart of our organization and highlight what truly matters to us. 1️⃣ Equity: Far too many minority groups have suffered from the out-of-date cannabis policies in Wisconsin, and together, we can take steps toward rectifying these damages. 2️⃣ Sustainability: Through your support, Wisconsin can take innovative steps towards reducing our carbon footprint on planet Earth. Let's make sustainable choices for a greener tomorrow! 3️⃣ Advocacy: Wisconsin residents have been more blatant in their support for cannabis reform. Let's continue to show this advocacy with another great year of protest for cannabis reform. 4️⃣ Agribusiness: For the first half of the 20th century, Wisconsin was a leader in our country’s hemp farming and manufacturing industry. We support steps to bring Wisconsin back to the forefront of this industry. This video is a testament to the incredible work our team and supporters do every day. Together, we are shaping a better, more inclusive, and sustainable world. 👉 Join us on October 1, 2023 in Madison, WI. 🗣️ Share this video to spread the message and inspire change! Together, we can achieve great things. 💬👥 #NonprofitImpact #OurMission #InspireChange #YesWICan
