Indiana prohibits all marijuana cultivation, possession, and use under IC 35-48-4. No medical or recreational program exists, and home cultivation is a felony statewide. Local governments cannot authorize marijuana growing.
Under IC 35-48-4-11, possession of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor for any amount, escalating to Class A misdemeanor with prior drug convictions and Level 6 felony for 30 grams or more with priors. Cultivation, manufacturing, or delivery falls under IC 35-48-4-10 and is a Level 6 felony at any quantity, escalating to Level 5 felony for 10 pounds or more or with prior convictions. Indiana has no medical marijuana program and treats hemp under IC 15-15-13 separately, requiring under 0.3 percent delta-9 THC. Cities cannot decriminalize or authorize marijuana cultivation.
Growing even a single marijuana plant is a Level 6 felony punishable by 6 months to 2.5 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. Larger operations carry up to six years imprisonment.
