Hello everyone! :waving_hand:

I’m Jay Selthofner and I’m excited to now be serving as an admin here on the WCIC forum at JoinWCIC.org.

For those who may not know me yet, I’ve been active in Wisconsin hemp and cannabis reform for well over a decade. I’m the founder of the Wisconsin Cannabis Activist Network (WISCO-CAN), co-founder of Northern Wisconsin NORML, a hemp farmer on our family farm Heritage Hemp Farm and operate a retail store in Ripon. I am also an independent reporter, consultant, and co-author of The Stoner’s Travel Guide to Wisconsin and am co-owner a publishing company, TSTG Enterprises.

I’ve worked on public education, grassroots organizing, candidate outreach, legislative advocacy, and helping connect people across Wisconsin’s cannabis and hemp communities for nearly two decades now.

You can learn more about my background and projects at JaySelthofner.com.

I believe education, communication, and relationship-building are the keys to meaningful reform. Whether you’re a patient, farmer, business owner, advocate, policymaker, or simply curious about the future of cannabis and hemp in Wisconsin, I’m here to help however I can.

Please don’t hesitate to:

  • Ask questions

  • Share ideas

  • Start discussions

  • Promote events and activism

  • Network with others in the community

This forum has the potential to become an important hub for collaboration, education, and positive change in Wisconsin. I’m looking forward to working with all of you and helping this community grow.

Thanks for being here — let’s build something great together! :seedling:
