Current state posture
Smokable hemp incl THCA flower/prerolls BANNED (IC 35-48-1-26.6, Class A misdemeanor). Non-smokable d8/THCA (edibles/vapes) remain legal at 0.3% d9 despite non-binding AG Opinion 2023-1.

Next date to watch
Federal 0.4mg cap 11/12 sweeps in non-smokable d8/THCA. 2026 restriction bills (SB250,SB478) died; next change rides federal.
Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026
State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the Indiana posture above.
