Indiana has not legalized marijuana for recreational or medical use, despite efforts by the state legislature to pass such laws. Currently, 24 states and Washington D.C. have legalized marijuana for both recreational and medicinal use. Indiana, on the other hand, has decriminalized marijuana, making it illegal but not punishable by law.
While Indiana has not legalized marijuana, it does allow the sale of CBD, Delta-9 THC, and THCA products with THC levels below 0.3%. Any product with higher THC levels is considered marijuana and remains illegal.

For residents of Indiana, neighboring states such as Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan have legalized marijuana for both recreational and medicinal use. Kentucky has legalized marijuana for medicinal use only.
Marijuana was banned federally in 1970 with the passage of the Controlled Substances Act, which classified it as a Schedule 1 drug. Currently, four states – Idaho, Kansas, South Carolina, and Wyoming – have not legalized marijuana for either recreational or medicinal use and have not decriminalized it.
