Indiana, USA hemp laws: quick overview

Indiana’s hemp law, enacted via Senate Bill 516 (2019), aligns with the 2018 Farm Bill by defining hemp as cannabis containing no more than 0.3% Δ9‑THC on a dry‑weight basis (Indiana Code Title 15, Article 15, Chapter 13) and excludes hemp products from the definition of marijuana; smokable hemp is explicitly banned under that statute ([indianacannabis.org](https://indianacannabis.org/thc/delta-8?utm_source=openai)). In January 2023, the Indiana Attorney General issued an official opinion interpreting that Δ8‑THC and other THC isomers are not covered by the “low‑THC hemp extract” exception and thus qualify as Schedule I controlled substances under Indiana Code § 35‑48‑2‑4(d) ([in.gov](https://www.in.gov/attorneygeneral/files/Official-Opinion-2023-1.pdf?utm_source=openai)). No state law has established numeric limits for total THC per serving or container beyond the federal Δ9 threshold, and no intoxicating‑hemp regulatory framework has been enacted as of May 2026 ([cannabisregulations.ai](https://www.cannabisregulations.ai/state-legality/indiana-delta-8?utm_source=openai)).

Shipping guidance

Inbound shipments of hemp‑derived products (non‑smokable) are generally allowed, as Indiana law permits hemp products meeting the Δ9 ≤ 0.3% threshold. Age verification is not statutorily defined, though retailers commonly require 21+. No retailer registration or license is required for selling non‑smokable hemp products under current law.

Testing & COA guidance

Testing is required for hemp crops and extracts under Indiana Department of Agriculture rules; samples must be submitted for THC compliance and contaminants, with COAs retained for three years and made available upon request by the state seed commissioner ([ams.usda.gov](https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/IndianaHempPlan.pdf?utm_source=openai)). ISO 17025 accreditation is not specified in statute.

What to buy

Non‑smokable hemp‑derived products that contain Δ9‑THC ≤ 0.3% dry‑weight, such as edibles, tinctures, topicals, vapes (non‑flower), and oils.

What to avoid

Smokable hemp products including hemp flower or Δ8 flower are banned. Δ8‑THC, Δ10‑THC, HHC, THCA and other isomers may be treated as controlled substances per AG opinion and carry legal risk.

How to shop compliant, tested hemp

  • Indiana aligns with federal Δ9‑THC ≤ 0.3% dry‑weight under Indiana Code 15‑15‑13 definitions.
  • Smokable hemp (including flower) is explicitly banned under SB 516 (2019).
  • Attorney General opinion (Jan 2023) classifies Δ8‑THC and other isomers as Schedule I under state law.
  • No state per‑serving or total THC mg limits beyond federal; only Δ9 threshold applies.
  • Lab testing required for hemp crops; COA retention for 3 years per Indiana Dept. of Agriculture rules.
