Indiana has not legalized cannabis for medical or adult use. Cultivating any number of marijuana plants for personal use is a felony under Indiana Code 35-48-4-11. Indianapolis cannot override state law to permit home grows.
Indiana remains one of a handful of states with no medical or recreational cannabis program as of 2026. Under IC 35-48-4-11, possession of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor; cultivation or possession of more than 30 grams escalates to a Level 6 felony, and amounts over ten pounds can reach Level 5. There is no homegrow allowance, no caregiver exemption, and no decriminalization at the state level. Indianapolis prosecutors under former Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears announced a deprioritization policy for low-level possession (under one ounce) starting 2019, but cultivation remains aggressively prosecuted regardless of plant count, and federal banking and seed sales restrictions still apply.
Cultivation of any marijuana plant is a Level 6 felony in Indiana, punishable by 6 months to 2.5 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000; larger operations escalate to higher felony levels.
