Cannabis cultivation for personal use is illegal in Indiana. State law (IC 35-48-4) classifies marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance, and growing any amount is a criminal offense. Indianapolis enforces state cannabis laws, and there is no local ordinance permitting home cultivation. Possession of even small amounts remains a misdemeanor, and cultivation charges carry felony penalties depending on quantity.
Indianapolis does not permit home cannabis cultivation under state law. Both recreational and medical marijuana growing are prohibited. Any cannabis plants found on residential property may be seized and the owner faces potential criminal penalties including fines and imprisonment. CBD hemp cultivation may have separate agricultural regulations.
Cultivation of any cannabis plants: misdemeanor or felony depending on quantity. Fines $500 to $5,000. Potential jail time for larger grows.
