Is delta-8 legal in Indiana?

Not legal

No, according to Indiana's Attorney General. Official Opinion 2023-1 concludes that delta-8, delta-10, THC-O and THC-P fall under Indiana's Schedule I listing for tetrahydrocannabinols.

  • The opinion says this applies whether the delta-8 is natural or converted.
  • A 2026 bill to regulate these products (SB 250) did not pass.

Is THCA flower legal in Indiana?

Not legal

No. Indiana bans "smokable hemp", which the code defines to include hemp bud and hemp flower, so THCA flower and pre-rolls are not legal to sell or possess.

  • Indiana's hemp extract limit also counts THCA toward the 0.3% total THC cap.
  • The only carve-out is licensed hemp shipments passing through Indiana in continuous transit.

Are hemp vapes legal in Indiana?

Being verified

Not confirmed. Indiana's smokable hemp ban covers products inhaled as smoke, and we could not find an official Indiana source that says whether hemp vape carts fall inside or outside it.

  • Vapes with delta-8 or other THC variants fall under the Attorney General's Schedule I opinion either way.
