Indiana Hemp Laws
Last updated: 2026-04-07
Indiana allows hemp production under state oversight and permits low-THC hemp products, but it has historically taken a stricter position on smokable hemp and certain finished products than many other states. Cultivation is legal, but product-category compliance deserves close review.
THC Limit
0.3% total THC on a dry-weight basis for hemp production, aligned with federal law; finished-product rules can be more restrictive than the cultivation baseline.
Licensing
Indiana requires state licensing or registration for hemp production activities and compliance with site reporting, sampling and testing, and crop disposition rules. Finished-product businesses may face separate low-THC extract and smokable-product requirements.
Regulatory body: Office of Indiana State Chemist / Indiana State Seed Commissioner

Important Notes
Smokable hemp and low-THC extract rules have been recurring compliance flashpoints in Indiana.
