Legal at general retail

In short: 'Smokable hemp' means a product 'in a form that allows THC to be introduced into the human body by inhalation of smoke', and the term includes hemp bud and hemp flower (IC 35-48-1.1-38, read Oct 8, 2026); the word 'vapor' is not in that definition. Since Jul 1, 2026 Indiana bans selling a 'vapor device' to anyone under 21 (SEA 144), and an 'e-liquid' is a substance that 'may or may not contain nicotine' (IC 7.1-7-2-10); from Jan 1, 2027 e-liquid manufacturers need a state permit (SEA 185). Whether these laws apply to hemp vapes is not yet confirmed.

Pending: SB 250 (21+, permits; it would have mirrored the Nov 12, 2026 federal date): its last printed version is the House committee text of Feb 19, 2026. SB 144 became SEA 144 (P.L. 141-2026), a vapor-device law; a search of its text on Oct 8, 2026 found no hemp text. A search of Titles 7.1, 15, 24 and 35 of the 2026 Indiana Code on Oct 8, 2026 found no provision keyed to Nov 12 or Dec 11, 2026, and no hemp text in Title 7.1.

Federal overlay · applies from Dec 11, 2026

Federal: total THC (incl. THCA) ≤0.3%, 0.4 mg per container, converted delta-8

From Dec 11, 2026, hemp means total THC including THCA at 0.3% or less by dry weight; final products are capped at 0.4 mg total THC per container; cannabinoids made outside the plant (converted delta-8, delta-10) are excluded. Scheduled — Dec 11 is also the day the federal funding bill expires, and the White House budget office asked Congress in June for 'at minimum, an extension'. Watch the countdown.

Frequently asked questions

›Does 'not yet verified' mean banned?

No. A grey lamp means we have not checked that state and product class against a primary source yet. It is on the verification queue. Verified rows show the statute and the day we checked.

›Does the checker decide whether my product is legal?

No. It shows the state row for a product class: the lamp, the channel, the caps and the statute. Compare your label or certificate of analysis with the caps yourself. The status lamp comes from the rules row only.

›What is a 'licensed channel only' lamp?

The product class may be sold in that state, but only through a licensed channel — a licensed hemp retailer, a liquor or package store, or a marijuana dispensary — often with caps and an age limit. The row names the channel and the statute.
